JAMES D. FOLEY is Professor in the School of Interactive Computing in the College of Computing and Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
He was the founding director of the Graphics, Visualization & Usability Center at Georgia Tech. Other past positions include CEO of Yamacraw, Georgia's economic development initiative in broadband devices and chips, and the director of the Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratory (MERL) in Cambridge, Massachusetts and chairman and CEO of Mitsubishi Electric ITA, directing four labs in North America. He is a Fellow of AAAS, ACM and IEEE, and a recipient of the ACM/SIGGRAPH Stephen Coons Award for Outstanding Creative Contributions to Computer Graphics.
Foley was one of the computer graphics pioneers who came over to help establish HCI as a discipline.
He is the first author of the leading text in computer graphics, part of which deals with core technical HCI issues such as input devices, interaction techniques, and dialogue design. From this base of credibility, he established the Graphics, Visualization & Usability Center at Georgia Tech. This institution became a major center for HCI research, the training of students and future faculty, and the codification of courses and content in the field. It is difficult to think of anyone who had a larger role in the institutionalization of HCI as a discipline. Foley's technical work has been characterized by its breadth across HCI.
He has contributed over 80 publications spanning computer graphics, input devices, visualization, user interface evaluation, perceptual issues, and user interfaces.
