David Redmiles

Biography. Dr. David F. Redmiles is a Professor in the Department of Informatics in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences and a member of the Institute for Software Research (ISR) at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). He is the author of over 100 research publications in the areas of software engineering, human-computer interaction, and computer-supported cooperative work. His current research focuses on distributed and collaborative software engineering, especially the aspects of awareness and trust among collaborators. His research group builds systems and performs quantitative and qualitative studies. Many of these studies take place at large corporate and governmental organizations. For many years, Dr. Redmiles was involved in the IEEE/ACM Conference on Automated Software Engineering, serving on the steering committee and organizing the 2005 conference as General Chair. That research community designated him Fellow of Automated Software Engineering in 2009 and in 2010 awarded him and his co-authors the first Most Influential Paper Award for their 1996 paper on software design environments. In 2011, he was designated a Distinguished Scientist of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). He recently served as a Program Co-Chair of the 2013 International Symposium on End-User Development (IS-EUD) and as a co-organizer of a 2013 ACM CSCW Workshop on Trust in Virtual Teams. Dr. Redmiles received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Colorado, Boulder (CU Boulder) in 1992. He earned his MS in 1982 in Computer Science and a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science in 1980, both from the American University, Washington, D.C. He has been on the faculty at UCI since 1994 and chaired the Department of Informatics from 2004 to 2011.
