Dr. Scott Robertson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. His general research area is human-computer interaction (HCI) and his most recent work has been in the areas of Digital Government, e-Democracy, and e-Participation.
Dr. Robertson has served as an invited participant and speaker on electronic voting and digital government for the Computer Science and Telecommunication Board of the National Academy of Sciences(see A Framework for Understanding Electronic Voting)and the Scientific Freedom, Responsibility, and Law Program of the American Association for the Advancement of Science(see Workshop on Developing a Research Agenda for Electronic Voting Technologies).
Dr. Robertson is Director of HI'CHI, the Hawaii Computer-Human Interaction Lab. He is currently the Principal Investigator for Digital Deliberation: Searching and Deciding About How to Vote,a three-year project funded by the Information and Intelligent Systems Division of the National Science Foundation(award # IIS-0535036).
Dr. Robertson received his B.A. in Social Science from the University of California, Irvine,his M.A. in Cognitive Psychology from California State University, Fullerton, and his Ph.D. in Psychology with a specialization in Cognitive Science from Yale University. Dr. Robertson has also worked as a researcher in the computing and telecommunications industries where he focused on collaboration and knowledge management technologies.
