Biography

Meredith Ringel Morris is a computer scientist conducting research in the areas of human-computer interaction (HCI), computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), social computing, and accessibility. Her current research focus is on accessibility, particularly on the intersection of accessibility and social technologies. In the past, her main research focus was social and collaborative web search. She has also studied other classes of collaboration technologies, including gesture systems and tabletop computing systems.

Morris is a Principal Researcher and Research Manager for the Ability research group at Microsoft Research. She is also an affiliate Professor in the School of Computer Science & Engineering and in the Information School at the University of Washington, where she participates in the dub research consortium.
