Congratulations to Connected Minds and SaTS lab trainee, Rupsha Mutsuddi, on receiving the prestigious SSHRC-CRSH – Doctoral (CGS-D) Award!

Rupsha, a PhD student in the School of Global Health at York University, is exploring how co-design and interaction design can help address loneliness and support daily life for people with dementia in both local and global communities. Her interdisciplinary work aims to inform the development of inclusive digital tools that enhance accessibility and support healthy aging.

Supervised by Dr. Shital Desai and Dr. Robert Allison, Rupsha’s research reflects Connected Minds’ commitment to inclusive innovation and collaborative solutions for complex societal challenges.
