Sean A. Munson
I am a Professor at the University of Washington's Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering. Working primarily on health, wellbeing, and exposure to diverse information, I design and evaluate techniques for helping people make sense of data about themselves and the world around them.
In addition to my research and teaching, I direct the HCDE PhD program, am Associate Chair for Faculty & Research Development, am a member of the DUB group, and co-direct the UW ALACRITY Center.
I have many great collaborators, including PhD students Neilly Herrera Tan, Carla Castillo, Shengzhi Wang, Tricia Aung, Shaan Chopra, Tae Jones, Georgia Kenderova, Sam So, Claire Weizenegger, and Nichole Sams.
