Irene Greif heads the Collaborative User Experience (CUE) Group, a team of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) researchers located in Cambridge, MA. The group has historically worked most closely with Lotus product teams on collaboration software and is now extending its impact to other parts of IBM’s Software Group -- to support collaboration among software developers -- and to IBM's Business Consulting Services.
Irene is a former faculty member of computer science at University of Washington and of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT. She headed a research group in the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science, which developed shared calendar, co-authoring and real-time collaboration systems. She is a fellow of both the Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and Association of Computing Machinery (ACM.) Irene was inducted into the Women In Technology International (WITI) Hall of Fame in 2000.
Irene joined Lotus in 1987 and formed Lotus Research in 1992. Product innovations from her group include Version Manager for 1-2-3, InterNotes Web Publisher (precursor to Domino); the first Palm Pilot conduit for Notes mail; the Sametime strategy for integrating awareness, conversation, and shared objects; and most recently, the design vision for Reinventing E-mail. At Lotus, Irene also led the Lotus Product Design Group, and now, in the Research Division, she continues to foster strategic design and innovation in user interface and interactive visualization.
Irene received her S.B. in mathematics, her S.M. and her Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer science, all from MIT.
