Biography

Max L. Wilson is an Associate Professor of Human-Computer Interaction, in the Mixed Reality Lab, and Director of Student Experience in the School of Computer Science. His EPSRC, European, and Google funded research is focused on the use of fNIRS brain data, about mental workload and other cognitive activity, as a form of personal data, that can be used to evaluate technology and work tasks. This work has emerged from his earlier research on the evaluation of user interfaces for interacting with information. Max is on the steering committees of both ACM CHI and ACM CHIIR conferences, as well as a member of the SIGCHI Conferences Working Group, and a Deputy Editor at the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies.
