Doctoral Consortium

The CHI 96 Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for Ph.D. candidates to discuss their work together with a panel of faculty and industrial researchers. The Consortium participants, who have been invited based on their dissertation proposals, reflect the wide range of disciplines within CHI research. In an open SIG on Tuesday (4:30 pm), a team of HCI designers and analysts from industry will use the Consortium presentations as a springboard for discussion on the usability of HCI research. A summary of the Consortium and the SIG will be presented in the Conference Review session on Thursday (11:30 am).
