Amy Bruckman
Is an Associate Professor at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, and a member of the Graphics, Visualization, and Usability (GVU) Center. She does research on online communities and education, and founded the Electronic Learning Communities (ELC) research group.
Her research applies the “constructionist” philosophy of education to the design of online communities. Constructionism advocates learning through design and construction activities — learning through working on personally meaningful projects. The Internet has a unique potential to make constructionist learning scalable and sustainable in real-world settings, because it makes it easy to provide social support for learning and teaching. In electronic learning communities, participants can help motivate and support one-another’s activities. One focus of her current research is studying open-content publishing environments (like Wikipedia) as constructionist learning environments.

I have been a faculty member in the Georgia Tech College of Computing and the GVU Center since January 1999, after finishing a PhD in the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University in New York City. I direct the Augmented Environments Lab, whose research focuses on the design and implementation of interactive mixed-reality and augmented-reality environments. Once current focus of my work is educational, entertainment and gaming applications of augmented reality environments, especially those that use personal displays (ie. ranging from see-through head-worn displays to video-mixed handheld displays) to directly augment a user’s perception of their environment.

Although he tends to focus on statistical machine learning, his research passion is actually artificial intelligence. He likes to build large integrated systems, and tends to spend a great deal of time doing research on autonomous agents, interactive entertainment, some aspects of HCI, software engineering and even programming languages.

He works in the areas of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Computational Perception, and Computer Animation, with potential impact on Video Analysis and Production, Human Computer Interaction, and Artificial Intelligence research. Specifically, he is interested in the analysis, interpretation, authoring, and synthesis (of video), with the goals of building aware environments, recognizing, modeling human activities, and behaviors, and developing dynamic and generative representations of time-varying streams (mostly video).
