As Technical Manager of AECL’s RARE (Risk and Reliability Evaluation) Consultancy she was involved in the CANADARM project of the Canadian Space Program.

She set the requirements for and managed one of the first major Canada/US AI projects to develop a risk expert system.

Her team did the analysis and found the causes of the
Therac 25 injuries and fatalities. This eventually led to the development of the medical device software standard IEC-62304

Judi has presented papers at scientific conferences including the Canadian Conference on Industrial Computer Systems, the Simulation Symposium on Reactor Dynamics and Plant Control, and the Canadian Association of Physicists.

She has been a university guest lecturer on Risk at the University Of Waterloo (Canada).

In addition to conference proceedings, she has published a number of public papers including publishing in Physical Review C and AECL papers. But most of the work she authored was restricted at a limited to named distribution level or commercial proprietary.
