dub is an alliance of faculty and students across the University of Washington exploring Human-Computer Interaction and Design.

Dub welcomes Andy Ko to UW faculty

Andrew J. Ko (Information School, CSE adjunct) employs a mixture of social science methodology and technical prowess in the study and support of programmers as information workers in need of better tools, particularly for answering "why" questions. He received a Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University in 2008.
