Peter Pirolli

Peter Pirolli is a Research Fellow in the Augmented Social Cognition Area at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). He is well known in the Human-Computer Interaction field for pursuing studies of human information interaction. His most well-known work is the development of Information foraging theory with Stuart Card.[1][2]

Ed H. Chi applied their theory to a system called "Bloodhound" later.[3]

Before joining PARC, Peter was a tenured Professor in the School of Education at UC Berkeley, and received his doctorate in cognitive psychology from Carnegie Mellon University in 1985 and a B.Sc. in psychology and anthropology from Trent University.

Peter has been elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the American Psychological Association (APA), the Association for Psychological Science, the National Academy of Education, and the ACM Computer-Human Interaction Academy.[4] He is the author of the book “Information Foraging Theory: Adaptive Interaction with Information" [5] and an Associate Editor for Human Computer Interaction journal.
