Short description: American computer scientist

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]
