Enlightened trial and error — prototyping — is the pivotal activity that structures design innovation, collaboration, and creativity. My group’s research seeks to enable a broader community of users to design interactive systems, and to enable expert designers to iterate more quickly and effectively. To accomplish this, we have introduced — and are actively researching — techniques for users to demonstrate interactive behavior, sample existing design elements to create new ones, and more tightly integrate the creation and evaluation aspects of design. We explore these issues on mobile, desktop, and web platforms; and are particularly excited about designing pervasive interactions that integrate our physical and digital environments. (full bio)
