Thomas Erickson

Thomas Erickson is an interaction designer and researcher at IBM Research in New York to which he telecommutes from his home in Minneapolis. His primary interest is in studying and designing systems that enable groups of all sizes to interact coherently and productively over networks. More generally, Erickson’s approach to systems design is shaped by methods developed in HCI, theories and representational techniques drawn from architecture and urban design, and theoretical and analytical approaches from rhetoric and sociology. In addition to computer-mediated communication, other research interests include virtual communities, game-like interactions, genre theory, personal information management and pattern languages.
