She received a Masters in Computer Science from the University of Toronto in 1971,[4] and a PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 1981.[1]

Research and career

In 1980, Grimson was appointed to a Lectureship in Computer Science at Trinity College Dublin[5] where she spent her entire academic career, holding a Personal Chair in Health Informatics prior to her retirement in 2014.[5] Her major research interests are in Health Informatics, a field concerned with the application of Information and Communications Technology to improve the quality and safety of healthcare.[6][7]

A chartered Fellow of the Institution of Engineers of Ireland (now Engineers Ireland) and a EUR ING, Professor Grimson served as President of Engineers Ireland from 1999-2000, again the first woman to hold this role.[9] She is a Fellow and Past-President (2002) of the Irish Academy of Engineering and of the Irish Computer Society (2000-2004).[10] She was President of the Healthcare Informatics Society of Ireland from 1999-2006.[10] Professor Grimson was partially seconded to the newly established Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) as its first Director of Health Information in 2007,[11] where she led the development of national standards for health information. In 2014, she was appointed Acting Chief Executive of HIQA,[12] just prior to her retirement.

She has served on numerous boards including Science Foundation Ireland,[13] the Energy Research Council,[10] the European Research Advisory Board,[10] and the Mary Robinson Foundation - Climate Justice [14] and was Chair of the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology.[5]
