Eli Blevis is an Associate Professor of Informatics in the Human-Computer Interaction Design (HCI/d) program of the School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University, Bloomington. He is also a Visiting Professor at The Hong Kong Polytechnic School of Design. His primary area of scholarship, and the one for which he is best known, is sustainable interaction design. This area of scholarship and his core expertise are situated within the confluence of human computer interaction as it owes to the computing and cognitive and ethnographic sciences, and design as it owes to the reflection of design criticism and the practice of critical design. His scholarship also engages design theory, digital imagery and visual thinking, and design learning. Blevis is author or co-author of more than one hundred publications.
Blevis serves as Director of the HCI/d program at Indiana, which offers undergraduate courses, a two-year MS program, and doctoral studies. Blevis is also acting Specialism Leader for the Interaction Design Program of the MDes scheme at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design, an on-going concern. He is committed to developing and collaborating with others on the matter of design curricula and learning paradigms in a manner which scaffolds and bridges these two programs, as well as other Design programs, particularly Interaction Design and HCI programs.
