I am Chancellor's Professor and the Steckler Endowed Chair of Information and Computer Science in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine, with faculty appointments in Informatics and Anthropology. I direct the Steckler Center for Responsible, Ethical, and Accessible Technology (aka CREATE). My research examines in the social and cultural dimensions of data and digital practice, drawing on disciplines such as human-computer interaction, science and technology studies, media studies, and communication. Further afield, I am an Honorary Professorial Fellow in Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne.
I participate in several interdisciplinary initiatives and centers on campus, including the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, the Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction, the Center for Cyber-Security and Privacy, the Institute for Software Research, the Center for Organizational Research, the Newkirk Center for Science and Society, the Center for Biomedical Informatics, the Center for Ethnography, and the Institute for Money, Technology, and Financial Inclusion. (Phew.)
According to an anonymous student reviewer, I am "by far the most eccentric professor in ICS," which I choose to take as a compliment; the competition for "most eccentric" is pretty tough around here. My Erdos Number is 3. I am a Fellow of the AAAS, a Fellow of the ACM, a Fellow of the BCS, and a member of the SIGCHI Academy.
