About Anirudha Joshi
Anirudha Joshi is professor in the interaction design stream in the Industrial Design Centre, IIT Bombay, India. He works in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design. He teaches HCI and related topics in IIT Bombay and in academic institutions all over India. He was one of the first teachers to introduce usability and ethnographic user studies methods to design education in India.

Anirudha is involved in designing interactive products for users in developing economies. He has done user studies, interaction design, and usability evaluations for diverse domains including healthcare, literacy, Indian language text input, banking, education, industrial equipment, and FMCG packaging. His work has been for users in urban and rural India and on a variety of platforms including desktops, the web, mobile phones, ATMs, and custom hardware.

Anirudha also works in the area of integrating HCI activities with software engineering processes. He has developed process models, tools, and metrics to help HCI practitioners deliver a better user experience.

Anirudha has authored papers in conferences and journals. He has given talks and reviewed in several conferences and events. Anirudha represents India on IFIP TC13 (the technical committee on Human-Computer Interaction of the International Federation for Information Processing). He is a member of the TC13 working group 13.2 on Methodologies for User-Centred Systems Design and the TC13 special interest group on Interaction Design for International Development. He has been the moderator of HCIIDC, a mailing list of HCI professionals in India since its inception in 2001 and founding co-chair of the India HCI conferences.

Anirudha interacts with the industry regularly. He has been a consultant to many companies and has collaborated with them on projects to help develop innovative products. He conducts workshops and courses for practitioners and he helps organisations integrate HCI activities in their processes.

Anirudha has been with IIT Bombay since 1998. Before joining IIT Bombay, Anirudha worked as a designer for six years. He made educational films, computer based training programs, designed interfaces for software products, multimedia CD ROMs and web sites.

Anirudha is a BTech (1989) in Electrical Engineering, an MDes (1992), in Visual Communication from the Industrial Design Centre, and a PhD (2011) in Computer Science and Engineering, all three from IIT Bombay. His PhD thesis was about integration of HCI activities in software engineering for usability goals achievement. This mix of engineering and design background has given him a unique perspective in the multi-disciplinary field of HCI.
