Margaret Burnett

Margaret Burnett is a Professor of Computer Science at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon StateUniversity. Her research focuses on human issues of programming languages and environments, especially when the programming is done by people not trained as professional programmers. She conducts her research with various visual programming languages (especially declarative ones), most recently by experimenting with and evaluating new approaches for supporting end-user software engineering. She is the principal architect of the Forms/3 and the FAR visual programming languages and, together with Gregg Rothermel, of the WYSIWYT testing methodology for end-user programmers.

She is currently Project Director of the EUSES Consortium, a NSF-funded multi-university collaboration among Oregon State University and Carnegie Mellon, Pennsylvania State, University of Nebraska, Drexel University, University of Cambridge, and IBM to help End Users Shape Effective Software.
