Hiroshi Ishii
MIT Media Laboratory, 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139-4307 (electronic mail: ishii@media.mit.edu).
Dr. Ishii is an associate professor at the MIT Media Laboratory, where he founded and directs the Tangible Media Group. His research focuses on the design of seamless interfaces between humans, digital information, and the physical environment. Prior to coming to MIT, he led a CSCW research group at the NTT Human Interface Laboratories from 19881994, where his team invented TeamWorkStation and ClearBoard. In 1993 and 1994, he was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Toronto, Canada. Dr. Ishii received a B.E. degree in electronic engineering in 1978, and the M.E. (1980) and Ph.D. (1992) degrees in computer engineering, all from Hokkaido University. He is active in the research fields of human-computer interaction (HCI) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), and has served as a program committee member of many international conferences including ACM CHI, CSCW, UIST, SIGGRAPH, Multimedia, and ECSCW. Dr. Ishii is currently an associate editor of ACM TOCHI (Transactions on Computer Human Interactions).
