Maureen C. Stone

Maureen C. Stone is an American computer scientist, specializing in color modeling.[1]

Biography

Stone has bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and another master's degree from the California Institute of Technology.[2] She worked for many years at Xerox PARC. After leaving PARC, she founded a consulting firm in the Seattle, Washington area in 1998, and became is an adjunct professor in the School for Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[3] She joined Tableau Research in 2011,[4] and headed the company as its senior director[5] before retiring as a senior principal research scientist there.[4]

Stone was program chair for SIGGRAPH in 1987,[6] and editor-in-chief of the journal IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications from 2007 to 2010.[7][8]

Research

Stone began working in computer graphics in the early 1970s, as part of the PLATO project at the University of Illinois.[6] She is the author of the book A Field Guide to Digital Color,[9] and has performed pioneering research on color management for digital printing.[10] She has also collaborated with colleagues from PARC on research in human–computer interaction; some of her highly cited works in this area concern snapping to nearby objects in point and click interfaces,[11] transparent user interface elements,[12] and interaction with high-resolution video displays.[13]

Recognition

In 2020, Stone was listed in the IEEE Visualization Academy by the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Community.[14]
