FacultyInformation School , Computer Science & Engineering
Andrew Ko is an Assistant Professor at the Information School at the University of Washington. His research interests include human and cooperative aspects of software development and design, and more broadly, the fields of human-computer interaction and software engineering. He has published articles in all of these areas, receiving best paper awards at top conferences such as the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) and the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing (CHI), as well as extensive press on the Whyline, a debugging tool that lets users ask why questions about problematic output. In 2010, he was awarded an NSF CAREER award to support his research and teaching on evidence-based bug triage. In 2004, he was awarded both NSF and NDSEG research fellowships in support of his Ph.D. research. He received his Ph.D at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Brad Myers. He received Honors Bachelors of Science degrees in Computer Science and Psychology from Oregon State University in 2002.
