Ben Shneiderman is a professor in the department of computer science, founding director of the human–computer–interaction laboratory, and member of the institute for advanced computer studies and the institute for systems research, all at the university of Maryland at College Park. He has taught previously at the State University of New York and at Indiana University.
He got a B.S. in Mathematics/Physics from the City College of New York in 1968, and then went on to study at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he received an M.S. in Computer Science in 1972 and graduated with a Ph.D. in 1973. In addition to his influential work in user interface design, he is known for the co-invention (together with Isaac Nassi) of the Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams, a graphical representation of the design of structured software.
