Jon E. Froehlich

Associate Professor, CS
University of Washington

I am an Associate Professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, a Sloan Fellow, and NSF CAREER awardee. My research is in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with a focus on high-value social domains such as accessibility, environmental sustainability, and STEM education. I have published over 50 peer-reviewed publications; eleven have been honored with awards, including Best Papers at ACM CHI and ASSETS and a 10-Year Impact Award at UbiComp. Since becoming a professor in 2012, I have taught ~250 undergraduate students and ~150 graduate students in HCI, Design, and UbiComp courses and served as a research advisor to nine graduate students, 50+ undergraduates, and 15 high school students. From 2012-2017, I was an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Maryland.
