Everyone,
I’m pleased to welcome Munaf Assaf, a new member of the Product Group.
Munaf is starting today as UX Designer and will work mainly on the
Editor Engagement Experiments projects. Almost all of these projects
have a user-facing component, and Munaf will help us design interfaces
to make these experiments and features more user-friendly.
Munaf joins us from the University of Michigan (UM), where he worked
as a Research Associate in the Office of Enabling Technologies. At UM,
he worked on a variety of projects, including mobile informatics
applications and engagement tools for visiting hospital patients. His
most recent project was the design of a high-tech collaboration space
in conjunction with the Taubman School of Architecture. Earlier in his
career, Munaf was an Algorithm Design Engineer at General Motors,
where he worked on control systems for improving vehicle fuel
efficiency.
He has a BS in Electrical Engineering from Kettering University, as
well as an MSI in Human-Computer Interaction from the University of
Michigan at Ann Arbor. For more information on his background, please
see his public profile [1].
Please join me in welcoming Munaf!
Howie
