Stephanie Ludi is an American computer scientist known for her work on accessibility, human–computer interaction, and computer science education.[1][2] She is a professor of computer science and engineering and associate dean for academic affairs at the University of North Texas.[3]
Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Ludi grew up in San Diego, California, where her parents worked as a medical technician and a teacher. She is visually impaired and legally blind,[4] and was inspired to go into engineering in order to design a self-driving car that she could use.[1][4] After becoming a student at the California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, her interests shifted to computer science.[1]
She graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer science in 1994, and continued at Cal Poly for a master's degree in 1996. Next, she went to Arizona State University for doctoral study in computer science. She completed her Ph.D. in 2003,[3] with a dissertation combining topics from computer science education and software engineering.[4][3]
Career
[edit | edit source]After completing her Ph.D., Ludi joined the faculty of the Rochester Institute of Technology. She moved to the University of North Texas in 2016,[4] and served as interim department chair from 2021 to 2022.[5]
Recognition
[edit | edit source]Ludi was named as a Distinguished Member of the Association for Computing Machinery, in the 2024 cohort of distinguished members, "for contributions to accessible computer science education research".[6]
