Scott P. Robertson

Dr. Scott Robertson isan Associate Professorin theCollege of Information Science and TechnologyatDrexel University.His general research area is human-computer interaction (HCI) and hismost recent work has been on the topic of electronic voting andpolitical decision support systems.

Dr. Robertson has served as an invited participant and speakeron electronic voting and digital governmentfor theComputer Science and Telecommunication Board of theNational Academy of Sciences(seeA Framework for Understanding Electronic Voting)and theScientific Freedom, Responsibility, and Law Programof theAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science(seeWorkshop on Developing a Research Agenda for Electronic Voting Technologies).

Dr. Robertson is currently the Principal Investigator forDigital Deliberation: Searching and Deciding About How to Vote,a three-year project funded by theInformation and Intelligent Systems Divisionof the National Science Foundation(award # IIS-0535036).

Dr. Robertson received his B.A. in Social Science from theUniversity of California, Irvine,his M.A. in Cognitive Psychology fromCalifornia State University, Fullerton,and his Ph.D. in Psychology with a specialization in Cognitive Science fromYale University.Before coming to Drexel,Dr. Robertson worked as a researcher in the computing and telecommunications industrieswhere he focused on collaboration and knowledge management technologies.
