Peter Brusilovsky
- Professor
Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelligent Systems and the director of Personalized Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab. Peter has been working in the field of personalized learning, student and user modeling, recommender systems, and intelligent user interfaces for over 30 years. He has published numerous papers and edited books on adaptive hypermedia, the adaptive Web, and social information access. His current interests are focused on user-centered intelligent systems in the areas of adaptive learning, recommender systems, and personalized health.
Peter is a recipient of Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship, NSF CAREER Award, and Fulbright-Nokia Distinguished Chair. Peter served as the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, and a program chair for several conferences including RecSys 2019. He is currently serving as the Chair of ACM SIGWEB and as a board member of several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction, ACM Transactions on Social Competing and International Journal of AI in Education. In addition to his degrees from the Moscow State University, he also holds a Doctor Honoris Causa degree from the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (2009).
