Liz Jessup
Associate Professor of Computer Science
Liz received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Yale University
in 1989, following a B.A. in Mathematics from Williams College, a brief
stint in semiconductor research at GTE Laboratories, and an M.S. in
Applied Physics from Yale. She joined the Computer Science faculty at
CU Boulder in 1989, then spent the 1990-91 academic year in residence
at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as the Alston S. Householder Fellow
in Scientific Computing. Her research concerns efficient computational
algorithms for matrix algebra which means figuring out how to do matrix-based
mathematics on different kinds of computer architectures.
Liz is very interested in undergraduate education and
has been involved in developing several new undergrad courses including
the high-performance scientific computing series, a course in linear
algebra with computer science applications, and, most recently, Technology
for the Community.
She occupies herself with, among many other
things, area and backcountry telemark skiing in the winter and whitewater
kayaking in the summer. The latter accounts for the wet hair and kayak
in the above photo.

Roz Dauber
Associate Professor of Journalism and Mass
Communication
Producer, Director
Prior to becoming a filmmaker, Roz was
a science policy analyst for the Congressional Office of Technology
Assessment, specializing in science and technology for development.
In that position, she published
The Impact Of Technological Change on Women In Developing Countries.
She has since gone on to produce documentaries on indigenous people:
Andean Women In Peru, Menri Monastery, and Broken Rainbow,
the Academy-Award winning film on the Navajo-Hopi land dispute. She
has served as a consultant evaluating women and development projects
and educational multimedia projects.
She has an M.A. in Science, Technology
and Public Policy from George Washington University and an M.A in Communications
Management from the Annenberg School for Communications at USC. Currently
Roz teaches documentary film and new media at the University of Colorado
where she founded the Tibetan Bonpo Media Archive Project. She just
finished a one hour documentary on Tibetan women refugees.

Clayton Lewis
Professor of Computer Science
Chair of Computer Science
Clayton received his Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology
from the University of Michigan in 1978, having previously earned B.A.
and M.S. degrees in mathematics from Princeton and MIT. He was a research
staff member and manager of human factors at IBM's Thomas J. Watson
Research Center from 1978 to 1984. He also served as group leader (Software
Human Factors) for IBM United Kingdom Laboratories in 1982. In 1984,
he returned to academics in the Department of Computer Science, University
of Colorado at Boulder.Dr. Lewis' honors include the University of Colorado
President's Teaching Scholar award in 1989. In 1999 he was elected Chair
of the department, and he is having a great time in the job.
Dr. Lewis' research has concentrated on reducing the effort
required to learn to use computing systems, and especially programming
systems. His work has contributed to the development of widely-used
user interface evaluation methods, including the thinking-aloud method
and the cognitive walkthrough used in the Technology for the Community
course.
Clayton's interests include reading, trying to keep up
with his children in physical pursuits like mountain biking and tennis,
devising learning activities for kids, and making things out of wood.

Ellen Hardy
Freshman
Chemical Engineering Major
Ellen moved to Boulder in August from a small town never
dreaming that she could learn so much. As her first year at a university
comes to a close, she is confident that she has chosen the right major,
met people with my same interests and values, and developed an unusual
routine to accommodate a heavy work load with a desire to explore all
that Boulder has to offer. She enrolled in the Technology in the Community
course primarily to fill her engineering elective requirement, but, more
than anything, she would say this course has enlightened her to the potential
technology harbors for small organizations. She would like to participate
in programs similar to this course in the future. She has also been active
in the community by volunteering at the University Hill Elementary School's
P.E. class and by working part time until recently at Great Clips. Ellen
is from Grand Junction, Colorado and graduated from Grand Junction High
School.

Phil Weinstein
Post-bachelor's nonmatriculated student
http://indra.com/~philw/devcenter/
Phil Weinstein is a software engineer with the Center for Advanced Decision
Support for Water and Environmental Systems (CADSWES) at UCB. He says
that he never quite understood why his employers over the last five years
were always eager to equip his development workstation with a web browser
and unlimited high speed Internet access. His life changed (a little)
the day he discovered that he could compose HTML with his browser. He
now publishes simple websites for several community organizations, including
Colorado and Boulder AAUW.
