Research and Teaching Interests

Dr. Andrea Bunt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manitoba where she co-directs the HCI lab. Her research interests are in the areas of human-computer interaction and intelligent interactive systems. Her work focuses on software learnability, online communities, improving computing experiences in rural and remote communities, and designing technologies for children and families. In 2018, she was a recipient of the CS-Can | Info-Can Young Researcher Award. Her research has also been acknowledged through a NSERC Accelerator Supplement (2015-2018), and paper awards at Graphics Interface 2017, ACM CHI 2012 and ACM IUI 2007. She teaches a range of courses at the University of Manitoba, including those in her area of specialization (HCI) and introductory programming courses.
