Jon Froehlich

I’m Jon, a Professor in Human-Computer Interaction at UW’s Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering where I work with an extraordinary set of students and collaborators on problems related to accessibility, urban informatics, environmental sustainability, and STE(A)M education. At UW, I direct the Makeability Lab and am the Associate Director of CREATE (Center for Research and Education on Accessible Technology and Experiences), Associate Director of Tech Transfer and Outreach of PacTrans, Faculty Chair of the MHCI+D program, and co-founder of Project Sidewalk, a web tool aimed at transforming how sidewalks are mapped, analyzed, and visualized using crowdsourcing+AI. I also serve as a Core Faculty Member in the Interdisciplinary PhD Program in Urban Design and Planning within the UW Graduate School.
