In many traditional computer science classes, students acquire a specific set of technical skills such as programming or algorithm design. In Ehsan Hoque’s Human-Computer Interaction class, along with acquiring new technical skills, students spend time thinking creatively about computers and ways they can use computing to solve pressing problems in society.
The academy is an initiative of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the world’s largest scientific and educational computing society, to enable “the next generation of researchers, practitioners, educators, and entrepreneurs to develop a coherent and influential voice that addresses challenging issues facing the field and society in general.”
Ehsan Hoque, a computer scientist at the University of Rochester, has been recognized as a leading innovator in human-computer interaction with a World Technology Award from the World Technology Network.
Ehsan Hoque, assistant professor of computer science, is in rare company. The editors of MIT Technology Review have named Hoque one of this year’s “innovators under 35”
“The goal is to develop a conferencing application that senses many aspects of human behavior to assess group dynamics,” explained Luis Nova, a rising junior in computer science who joined the group this summer as a Xerox fellow.

People often rank public speaking as the number one fear that they face. New cloud-based technology from researchers at the University of Rochester lets speakers polish and practice at home in front of their computer camera, while the analysis provides instant feedback about improvement.
Ehsan Hoque had just defended his PhD dissertation at MIT in 2013 when he returned to his desk and found a voice mail from DARPA, the federal Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
UofR homepage presents some of our research to highlight this day.
In the field of human-computer interaction, computer science meets human behavior.
Congrats to the first round of Ph.D. graduates (advised by Jeff Bigham) from ROC HCI. Walter Lasecki will be joining the CSE dept. of University of Michigan, Erin Brady will be joining the School of Informatics and Computing at IUPUI, and Yu Zhong will be joining the Google Accessibility team.

Public speaking, for many, can make palms sweat and hearts race. Now, researchers from the Human-Computer Interaction group at the University of Rochester have developed a new real-time feedback system using Google’s smart glasses, to help guide your performance as you speak in front of an audience.
The ritual of the interview is nerve-wracking for interviewees and laborious for interviewers. But what if the process of selecting the right candidate for a job were automated? Heads up—the future of job interviews might just involve computerized analysis of your performance.

University of Rochester researcher M. Ehsan Hoque has won a best paper award at the 2013 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2013) for a computer system designed to help people practice social interactions.
