Maureen C. Stone is an American computer scientist, specializing in
color modeling.[1]
Biography
Stone has bachelor's and master's degrees from the
University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and another master's degree from the
California Institute of Technology.[2] She worked for many years at
Xerox PARC. After leaving PARC, she founded a consulting firm in the
Seattle, Washington area in 1998, and became is an adjunct professor in the School for Interactive Arts and Technology at
Simon Fraser University in
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[3] She joined Tableau Research in 2011,[4] and headed the company as its senior director[5] before retiring as a senior principal research scientist there.[4]
Stone began working in
computer graphics in the early 1970s, as part of the
PLATO project at the University of Illinois.[6] She is the author of the book A Field Guide to Digital Color,[9] and has performed pioneering research on
color management for
digital printing.[10] She has also collaborated with colleagues from PARC on research in
human–computer interaction; some of her highly cited works in this area concern snapping to nearby objects in
point and click interfaces,[11]transparentuser interface elements,[12] and interaction with high-resolution video displays.[13]
Recognition
In 2020, Stone was listed in the IEEE Visualization Academy by the
IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Community.[14]
