Dr. Cecily Morrison is a researcher at Microsoft Research in the Human Experience & Design group. Cecily works is the area of Human-Computer Interaction, holding a B.A. in Anthropology from Columbia University and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge. Her interests lie in developing novel technologies to enable health and well-being in the broadest sense. Recent work has been focused on the integration of computer vision, and machine intelligence more generally, into useful real-world applications, such as the Assess MS system to support disease tracking in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. A key tenant of Cecily's research is to symbiotically bring together people and systems so that systems augment rather than replace what people do. Much of Cecily's inspiration came from years of working with health professionals to translate technology research into systems that could be used in practice.
