Frances Carroll McColl Term Associate Professor
I conduct research in Information Retrieval (IR), a field concerned with designing, developing, and evaluating interactive systems that help people find information. I conduct research in three main sub-areas of IR: (1) aggregated search, (2) supporting users with complex information-seeking tasks, and (3) voice-enabled search.

Rob Capra
Frances Carroll McColl Term Associate Professor
My research interests lie at the intersection of human-computer interaction and information retrieval. I work on projects related to interactive information retrieval, search interfaces, and personal information management. My work is unified by an interest in how people find, refind, manage and share information, and how technology can help support these tasks.
