S05E07: Elizabeth Baron — Driving Change
Elizabeth Baron fell in love with computing at an early
age, a passion that led her to study computer science at
Eastern Michigan University. Hailing from a self-proclaimed
"Ford Family," Elizabeth began her career at the car
manufacturer shortly after graduation and over the years
moved around various departments, eventually running Ford's
Immersive Virtual Environment Lab, a lab she also helped to create.
In our conversation with Elizabeth, she recounts her early
years at Ford and the challenges and achievements of her career
at the company, being awarded the Dr. Haren Gandhi Research
and Innovation Award, her passion for SIGGRAPH, the challenge
of starting a new career after 30 years with the same company,
and she shares some insights into what she believes to be the
challenges of immersive technologies.
