The Faculty

Meet the dedicated HCI and Design faculty who built and support the program

The Master of Human-Computer Interaction and Design program is offered under the auspices of the dub interdisciplinary faculty group. The teaching faculty in the program will come from this group of faculty as well as from two full-time faculty members dedicated to this innovative program. The MHCI+D program is overseen by an executive committee that includes faculty from the four major dub departments.
