Landay is a professor of computer science and the Anand Rajaraman and Venky Harinarayan Professor in the School of Engineering at Stanford University. He co-founded Stanford HAI and leads all research efforts at the institute. His contributions to the HCI field include technology to support behavior change, demonstrational interfaces, mobile and ubiquitous computing, and user interface design tools.
