Dr. Pearl Pu is a research scientist and director of the HCI Group in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences, at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). She obtained her Master and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania in artificial intelligence and computer graphics. She was a visiting scholar at Stanford University in 2001, both in the database and HCI groups. While there, she gave seminars at Xerox PARC's weekly seminar series and Stanford's HCI Design Studio class as guest lecturer.
She was also co-founder of Iconomic Systems (1997-2001), and invented the any-criteria search and example critiquing method for finding configurable and multi-attribute products in heterogeneous electronic catalogs. Her recent research grants cover activities in decision support systems, information visualization, query optimization for digital libraries, scalable user experience, social navigation, and advanced display techniques.
Her recent publications included papers from ACM ECommerce, International Conferences on Intelligent User Interface, ACM CHI, IEEE InfoVis, AVI and the Constraints journal's special issue on Constraint Agents.
