HCI

Narendra Ahuja

Professor Ahuja's work centers on vision and robotics. Improved vision and image processing systems can greatly enhance the options in designing trustworthy and secure systems. One project involves new technical appraoches for face and expression recognition. Accurate face and expression recognition can enhance surveillance and forensic systems.
Brian P. Bailey

Prof. Bailey's research focuses on developing and evaluating effective interactive software tools by utilizing a science-oriented, multidisciplinary process.
Rayvon Fouché

As a cultural historian of technology, Rayvon Fouché studies the nature and significance of engineering's impact on society and how social and cultural knowledge influence technological trust.
Carl A. Gunter

Professor Gunter uses his background in programming languages to analyze protocols and systems with respect to trustworthy operation. Information about Professor Gunter's recent work is outlined on the Security Lab page.
Thomas S. Huang

Professor Huang is co-chair of the Human-Computer Intelligent Interaction Laboratory. The main research theme of the lab is to enhance human-machine interface design through the optimization of state-of-the-art technology development and engineering of multimodal interface design concepts.
Karrie G. Karahalios

Karrie Karahalios is an assistant professor in computer science at the University of Illinois, where she heads the Social Spaces Group. Her work focuses on the interaction between people and the social cues they perceive in networked electronic spaces. Of particular interest are interfaces for public online and physical gathering spaces such as chatrooms, cafes, and parks.
Alex Kirlik

Professor Kirlik's main research interests are in human factors and cognitive engineering, mathematical and computational modeling of cognition and performance in human-technology interaction, decision-making, interface design, human-automation interaction, and training in technological workplaces.
Klara Nahrstedt

Professor Nahrstedt's interest in security comes from her work in multimedia systems. Due to the time constraints of multimedia systems, the security issues differ from those in more standard Internet communication. She has pioneered the area of Quality of Protection to explore the tradeoffs between multimedia performance and communication security.
M. Scott Poole

One strand of Professor Poole's research focuses on two aspects of communication and information technologies. He is interested in how people interact with communication and information technologies.
Michael Twidale

Professor Twidale's research focus is sociotechnical systems analysis and design. This involves studying how people learn about computational devices and applications, the ways they make sense of them and misunderstand them, and how they use, tailor, appropriate, combine, and integrate them into their lives.

Recent trust-oriented publications from Michael Twidale include:
