Brygg Ullmer is Professor and Chair of the Human-Centered
Computing (HCC) Division within the School of Computing at Clemson
University, where he also leads the Tangible Visualization group.
His research interests include tangible interfaces, computational
genomics (and more broadly, interactive computational STEAM),
visualization, and rapid physical and electronic prototyping. He
also has a strong interest in computationally mediated art, craft,
and design, rooted in the traditions and material expressions of
specific regions and cultures. Ullmer hosted and co-chaired the
inaugural ACM TEI 2007 conference; conference co-chair of TEI 2016;
and is a steering committee member. Ullmer received M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees from the MIT Media Laboratory, and a B.S. in computer
engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
Orit Shaer is Professor of Computer Science at Wellesley
College. She directs the Wellesley College Human–Computer
Interaction (HCI) Lab. Her research focuses on novel HCI for the
future of work and learning. Dr Shaer is a Senior Member of the
Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), and a recipient of
several NSF and industry awards including the prestigious NSF
CAREER Award, Agilent Technologies Research Award, and Google App
Engine Education Award. At Wellesley she was awarded the Pinanski
Prize for Excellent Teaching. Dr Shaer is a steering committee
member of the ACM conference on Tangible Embedded and Embodied
Interaction (TEI) and served as Program Chair in 2010, 2017, and
most recently in 2020. Dr Shaer received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees
from Tufts University in computer science.
Ali Mazalek is Canada Research Chair in Digital Media and
Innovation and Professor in the RTA School of Media at Toronto
Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), where she
directs the Synaesthetic Media Lab. Her research investigates how
tangible and embodied media can support and enhance creative
practices and processes, supporting new forms of expression and new
ways of thinking and learning. She is an Affiliate Scientist at the
Keenan Research Centre for Biomedical Science, St. Michael's
Hospital, and is a member of the Ryerson Institute for Biomedical
Engineering, Science and Technology (iBEST). She was a member of
the inaugural cohort of the Royal Society of Canada's College of
New Scholars, Artists and Scientists. Mazalek is a steering
committee member of the ACM TEI conference, and served as a Chair
from 2013–2016. She was a Program Chair for the TEI conference in
2008 and 2015. Mazalek received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the MIT
Media Lab and a Hon.B.Sc. in computer science and mathematics from
the University of Toronto.
Caroline Hummels is professor of Design and Theory for
Transformative Qualities at the Department of Industrial Design at
the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Over the past 25
years, she has worked at the forefront of design research pushing
its boundaries, for example, by (co-) establishing the field of
Research through Design, and jointly establishing ACMTEI, as
program co-chair of the inaugural TEI 2007 conference, conference
cochair of TEI 2016, next to being a steering committee member.
With designing for transforming practices, she is taking with her
colleagues, social, public, and private partners the next leap in
design research: imagining and designing alternative practices for
sustainable worlds in becoming driven by design philosophy
correspondence. Embodied interaction, aesthetics, complexity, and
technology-in-becoming play an important role in her work. Hummels
received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Delft University of Technology
in Industrial Design Engineering.
