Ben Shneiderman is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Computer Science, Founding Director (1983-2000) of the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory and a Member of the UM Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) at the University of Maryland. He is a Fellow of the AAAS, ACM, IEEE, and NAI, and a Member of the National Academy of Engineering, in recognition of his pioneering contributions to human-computer interaction and information visualization. His innovative contributions include the webs highlighted link that makes it easy for billions of users to get the information they want and the tiny touchscreen keyboard on mobile devices used around the world. His theories, research methods, and software tools have become popular topics in computer science, while revolutionizing the ways people use technology to improve their lives. He has received six honorary doctorates. Shneidermans recent books are Designing the User Interface: Strategies for Effective Human-Computer Interaction (6th ed., 2016) and The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough Collaborations (2016).
