Alannah Oleson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Denver's Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science. Her work focuses on inclusive design, computing education, and addressing equity issues in technology. She is actively involved in the KIHA Innovation Labs, exploring human-centered approaches to computing education and HCI. Her research investigates how demographic factors influence learning outcomes in computing courses, develops pedagogical methods for teaching inclusive design (e.g., the CIDER framework), and examines the ethical implications of technology in K-12 and university settings. Notable areas include algorithmic fairness, gender bias in software systems, and culturally responsive computing education for underrepresented groups. Dr. Oleson's research emphasizes practical methods for integrating critical thinking into software design processes, with recent work exploring peer feedback systems for equity analysis in large courses and curriculum reforms to promote ethical awareness. Her contributions bridge theory and practice, aiming to make computing education more equitable and socially responsible.
