HFID Adjunct Professor Chauncey Wilson received the UXPA’s lifetime achievement award at this year’s UXPA Conference in San Diego. Chauncey joins the ranks of other Bentley faculty - Joe Dumas, Tom Tullis and Elizabeth Rosenzweig - who have won four out of the seven Lifetime achievement awards issued by the association over the years.

According to the history of UXPA award recipients, Chauncey was given this year's award for his achievements in academics here at Bentley, and though his research. UXPA praises Wilson for "more than 25 years of significant contributions to the developmnt and dissemination of UX evaluation methods, for pioneering research that continues to improve the efficacy of those methodologies, for authorship that has advanced the field, and for his tireless mentoring of students and colleagues."

Chauncey retired from his post at Bentley this past year. His publication credits include the Handbook of Informal and Formal HCI Methods, articles for academic journals such as User Experience and ACM Interactions, and numerous book chapters for usability-related texts. As a consultant, Wilson has worked on projects for Microsoft, FedEx, Reuters, 3COM and among others.

One of our favorite Chauncey articles is this one on brainwriting, published by Smashing Magazine.

On behalf of everyone at Bentley and in the HFID and user experience community, congratulations Chauncey!
