Scott Hudson is a Professor in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute within the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University where he directs the HCII PhD program. Scott's research interests have covered a wide range of topics within the area of user interface software and technology. However, his work has always revolved around the invention and building of things which lead to a better user experience (although often indirectly through tools for the UI developer).
Chris "nib" Harrison
Chris received his bachelors and masters degrees in computer science from New York University. He worked at IBM Research and AT&T Labs before starting his Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University in 2007. His research interests include novel input methods and technologies, cognitively augmented user interfaces, and inexact and inattentive interaction techniques.
Julia "720" Schwarz
Julia is a second year Ph.D. student at the HCI Institute in Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science. She recently graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor's in Computer Science. She is currently interested in exploring new ways to display and interact with information, and in helping people interpret readily available data to better understand their habits and activities. An avid skier and juggler, she tries to maintain a balance between life in and outside the lab, and is always interested in trying new things.
Johnny Lee (alumni)
Johnny is currently a researcher in the Applied Sciences group at Microsoft. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction in 2008. He is most interested in novel techniques that greatly enhance the practicality and reachability of interactive technology, such as projector calibration, multi-projector applications, augmented reality, physical and tactile input, multi-point interaction, head-tracking, and biometric input.
