Patrice L. (Tamar) Weiss
Prof. Patrice L. (Tamar) Weiss graduated with a bachelor’s degree in occupational therapist (University of Western Ontario), a master’s degree in kinesiology (University of Waterloo) and PhD in physiology and biomedical engineering (McGill University). In 2001, she established the Laboratory for Innovations in Rehabilitation Technology at the University of Haifa where she developed and evaluated novel virtual environments, haptic interfaces, co-located and online technologies to explore the effect of individual, tele-rehabilitation and collaborative platforms for a range of children (e.g., autism, ADHD, DDC, ABI) and adults (e.g., SCI, ABI, ALS, stroke) with cognitive and motor impairments. Her research has been funded by many national and international agencies. She has co-edited two books, authored more than 250 peer-reviewed journal articles, proceedings and book chapters and delivered numerous keynote addresses at international conferences. Prof. Weiss is a founding board member of the International Society for Virtual Rehabilitation and the 2017 recipient of its Distinguished Career Award. Her major activities over the past three years have been to co-establish PARC and supports its principal investigators and their research teams in her capacity as the Executive Research Advisor.
