Anthony Hornof Accepts Program Director Position at NSF
Associate Professor Anthony Hornof will serve as a Program Director in NSF's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems. IIS core programs include Human-Centered Computing, Information Integration and Informatics, and Robust Intelligence.
Dr. Hornof will serve as program director for IIS's Human-Centered Computing program (HCC), which focuses on advancing our understanding of the complex and increasingly coupled relationships between people and computing.
HCC research targets diverse computing platforms such as traditional computers, handheld and mobile devices, robots, and wearable computers, at scales ranging from an individual device with a single user to large, evolving, heterogeneous socio-technical systems.
HCC research also aims to increase our support of creativity and innovation as it pertains to computing and to extend the reach of computing to new communities. HCC research outcomes are expected to improve the human-computer interaction experience, so that the computer empowers the user at work, in school, at home and at play, and facilitates natural and productive human-computing integration.
Dr. Hornof has been a CIS faculty member since 1999. His research expertise lies in the area of human-computer interaction, with current projects in cognitive modeling, eye tracking, and assistive technology. Dr. Hornof is published in the leading human-computer interaction conferences and journals, and has been awarded over $2.25 million in single-investigator research grants, including multiple awards from the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research.
