Kirsten Boehner

Kirsten Boehner is a postdoctoral researcher in the CEmCom group at Cornell. Her research interests include interpretive flexibility in design, participatory installations in public spaces, and technology for reflection and creative expression. She received a PhD in Communication from Cornell University in 2006 and has worked for many years in the Human-Computer Interaction Lab with Geri Gay. Kirsten returned to graduate work after several years in industry in order to examine alternate technology design beyond codification of standardized practices.
