My research in Human-Computer Interaction lies at the intersections of three domains: crowdsourcing; design tools; and physical computing. Research systems center on tools for designers and programmers, with emphasis on amateurs and DIY groups.
I am a co-director of the Berkeley Institute of Design. I collaborate with many excellent research groups in our department such as the Visual Computing Lab; the Parallel Computing Lab; and the Swarm Lab. I am also affiliated with the Berkeley Center for New Media, and the new Cal Design Lab. I co-initiated the Course Thread in Human-Centered Design. I received my PhD from the Stanford Computer Science department in 2009 where I worked with Scott Klemmer (dissertation). I received an MSE in Computer and Information Science as well as Undergraduate Degrees in Digital Media Design and Communication from the University of Pennsylvania in 2002.
Thinking about applying for a PhD/Masters in HCI at Berkeley?
Do not email me directly - I cannot help with the admissions process. Read this advice instead.
UCB Undergraduate Student interested in (Interface) Design?
We recently launched a Course Thread in Human-Centered Design that lists relevant courses across the university as well as reading materials. In Computer Science, you should take CS160. If you did well and want to deepen your understanding of HCI research, sign up for CS260. If you have completed either of these courses with outstanding results, come to my office hours to talk about undergraduate research opportunities.
