Curriculum Vitae
Batya Friedman is a Professor in the Information School, Adjunct Professor in the Department of Computer Science, and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Human-Centered Design and Engineering at theUniversity of Washington where she directs the Value Sensitive Design Research Lab. She received both her B.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. She pioneered value sensitive design (VSD), an approach to account for human values in the design of information systems. Her work has focused on a wide range of values, some include privacy in public, trust, freedom from bias, moral agency, sustainability, safety, calmness, freedom of expression, and human dignity; along with a range of technologies such as web browsers, urban simulation, robotics, open source tools, mobile computing, implantable medical devices, social media, ubiquitous computing and computing infrastructure. Currently she is working on multi-lifespan information system design and on methods for envisioning � imagining new ideas for leveraging information systems to shape our futures. Voices from the Rwanda Tribunal is an early project in this multi-lifespan information system design program. In 2012 she received the ACM-SIGCHI Social Impact Award.

Associate Professor, The Information School, University of Washington
dhendry [at] uw.edu
http://faculty.washington.edu/dhendry
David Hendry, Associate Professor in the Information School, received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Robert Gordon University in 1996. For his dissertation, he developed a user-interface architecture for implementing diverse families of information retrieval applications. He received his B.A. in 1986 and a M.Sc. in 1989 in Computing and Information Science from the University of Guelph. He joined the dot.com movement in 1997, spending two years at a start-up that commercialized collaborative filtering. Over the next three years, as Manager of User Interface Research at Terra Lycos, he studied consumer web applications and helped teams create better user experiences. His research and teaching interests are human-computer interaction, development and evaluation of systems for information access, end-user programming, and cross-functional design.
