Professional biography

Andrew Kun is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Hampshire, and director of the UNH Human-Computer Interaction Lab. Kun received his PhD at UNH in 1997, worked in industry between 1997 and 1999, and has been teaching at UNH since 1999. Kun’s research interest is human-computer interaction. In his research he has primarily focused on the design and evaluation of speech interfaces and augmented-reality interfaces in vehicles, on exploring emerging trends in human-computer interaction for automated vehicles, and on the use of visual behavior and pupil diameter changes to model the relationships between user interface characteristics and user performance and satisfaction. His work has been funded primarily by the US Department of Justice, and the National Science Foundation. He is also a recipient of a Fulbright Scholar award, having spent the spring of 2014 at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Currently, he serves as ACM SIGCHI Vice President for Finance, Steering Committee member of the ACM AutomotiveUI conference series, as well as editorial board member of the IEEE Pervasive Computing magazine, the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, and the Human-Computer Interaction journal.
