Mary Czerwinski

Czerwinski's education included 1978-1982—M.A; B.A, Experimental Psychology; Psychology at Ball State University She earned her doctorate in cognitive science from Indiana University Bloomington 1982-1988. ==Career and research==

She worked in computer-human interaction for Bellcore, the Johnson Space Center, and Compaq, and also held an adjunct position at Rice University while at Compaq. She moved to Microsoft in 1996, as a usability tester in product development. Two years later, she joined Microsoft Research, as the first social scientist to work there. She worked in the visualization and interaction research group managing researchers, designers, and developers doing human-computer interaction research. Her main research focus is around large/multiple displays, social and physiological computing, novel information visualizations and interaction techniques In 2015 she was named a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery "for contributions to human-computer interaction and leadership in the CHI community." In 2014, she also received the Distinguished Alumni award from Indiana University's Brain and Psychological Sciences department and will receive a Distinguished Alumni award from the College of Arts and Sciences from Indiana in February, 2018. Czerwinski retired from Microsoft Research in 2024. Her work focuses on developing Artificial Emotional Intelligence (AEI) to create systems that recognize and respond to human emotions. She promotes the idea of balancing emotions rather than striving for nonstop productivity and envisions AI enhancing well-being and efficiency in the workplace by adapting to users' emotional states. == Awards ==
