Gillian R. Hayes received her Ph.D. from the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology, under the advisement of Gregory Abowd. Her research lies in the field of HCI, with emphases on ubiquitous computing, assistive and educational technologies and medical informatics. She is interested in issues surrounding the technology needs of people in chronic care situations. Her dissertation focuses on designing, deploying and understanding capture and record-keeping technologies for informal and unstructured daily activities. Her current ITA funded project involves technologies that provide visual schedules and choice boards for non-verbal children automating features of devices and logging data (see weblink above). She is director of the Social and technological action research (STAR) and affiliated with the Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction, the Center for Ethnography, the Center for Biomedical Informatics, the Center for Research on Information Technology & Organizations, the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, and ACE program faculty.
