Computer Science & Engineering, Information School

I am a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. My principal research interests currently concern land use, transportation, and environmental modeling; and designing for human values. A particular focus is designing interactions to support more effective public participation in land use and transportation deliberations, supported by sophisticated simulation data. I'm the co-director of the Center for Urban Simulation and Policy Analysis, which is developing and deploying the UrbanSim modeling system. I also collaborate frequently with Batya Friedman in the Information School (where I am an adjunct professor) on projects around Value Sensitive Design. In a previous life I worked quite a bit on constraint-based languages and systems, and on object-oriented languages.
