Joy Goodman-Deane is a Senior Research Associate in the Inclusive Design group at the Engineering Design Centre, University of Cambridge, within the Department of Engineering. Her work focuses on enabling companies to create products that accommodate diverse users, including older adults, individuals with disabilities, and those digitally excluded.

Her research emphasizes:

• Understanding disability and capability loss in product use
• Developing tools for inclusive design processes
• Survey data integration for capability modeling

The 15 most recent publications highlight trends in digital mobility, impairment simulation, and accessibility frameworks. Key methodologies include personas, inclusive design wheels, and capability surveys.

She contributes to initiatives like the Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (CWUAAT) and the DIGNITY project in Barcelona. Her work bridges engineering, public health, and policy-making through inclusive design.
