About Will Odom

I am a human-computer interaction design researcher and practitioner. I specialize in interaction design, ethnography, pervasive computing, design research, qualitative & quantitative evaluation methods, and web development. Currently, I am researching several themes relevant to Human-Computer Interaction design, such as sustainable interaction design, aesthetics of interaction, and design for everyday domestic life. I have a B.S. in Informatics and a B.A. in Folklore/Ethnomusicology from Indiana University. I am presently a second year graduate student working toward a M.S. in Human-Computer Interaction / Design at Indiana University School of Informatics. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or interests as you look around my site.
