Eli Blevis is Professor of Informatics in Human-Computer Interaction Design (HCI/d) at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering (Luddy) at Indiana University, Bloomington. His primary area of research, and the one for which he is best known, is sustainable interaction design. His research also engages visual thinking—especially photographic foundations of HCI, and design theory—especially transdisciplinary design.
