Biography
Philip Gust is a clinical instructor at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University’s Silicon Valley campus. He teaches Align courses, including Intensive Fundamentals of Computer Science (CS 5001) and Discrete Math and Data Structures (CS 5002). In the classroom, he enjoys experimenting with various techniques like study groups, team learning, and online communities so students can help each other to succeed.
Gust has been working with computers for over 40 years. He has a master’s degree in computer science and completed my doctorate coursework with a focus on text processing and document preparation systems. Gust has a bachelor’s in mathematics with a focus on computability and computational mathematics, along with a bachelor’s in psychology with a focus in cognitive and experimental psychology. As an undergraduate, he worked for NASA on unmanned spacecrafts that visited all the major planets. During graduate school, he taught courses in the University of Arizona’s computer science department. After graduation, he worked at several Hewlett-Packard product divisions and started a new user interface research group at HP Labs. After working at several venture capitals and privately funded San Jose startups, Gust joined an applied research group at Stanford University and returned to teaching computer science.
Gust’s long-term research interest is human-computer interaction, with an emphasis on user interface design and computer-mediated collaboration. He founded the multi-user interface group at HP Labs, helped design the Xt toolkit, and co-invented the Shared X extension to X Windows. More recently, he is interested in long-term preservation and access to born-digital content, including scholarly journals and books. At Stanford University, his work made the contents of LOCKSS digital repositories accessible to library users and enabled users to make semantic queries across preserved content repositories.
He is an active member in professional societies and a senior life member in the Association for Computing Machinery and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He has served on boards of several commercial companies and nonprofits. He is an international award-winning costume designer and cosplayer, and editor of The Virtual Costumer magazine.
