Steve Howard

Author: Steve Howard

Steve is Professor in the Department of Computing & Information Systems and an interaction design researcher.


His interests are largely in 'off the desk and out of office' usability, most notably pervasive and ubiquitous technologies applied to problems of real social need (e.g. distributed families, smoking cessation). He is part of the Interaction Design Lab
