James Landay is an Associate Professor in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, specializing in human-computer interaction. From 2003 through 2006 he was also the Laboratory Director of Intel Research Seattle, a university affiliated research lab exploring ubiquitous computing. His current research interests include Mobile & Ubiquitous Computing, Activity-based Computing, Automated Usability Evaluation, Demonstrational Interfaces, User Interface Design Tools, and Web Design.
Landay received his B.S. in EECS from UC Berkeley in 1990 and M.S. and Ph.D. in CS from Carnegie Mellon University in 1993 and 1996, respectively. His Ph.D. dissertation was the first to demonstrate the use of sketching in user interface design tools. He was also the chief scientist and co-founder of NetRaker Corp. In 1997 he joined the faculty in EECS at UC Berkeley, leaving as an Associate Professor in 2003.
I am currently working with the following students: Katherine Everitt, Jon Froehlich, Susumu Harada, Sean Liu, Kayur Patel, T. Scott Saponas, and Michael Toomim.
