Biography

Teevan received a B.S. in Computer Science from Yale University and a Ph.D. and S.M. from MIT.[2][3]

She is currently a researcher at Microsoft Research and an affiliate associate professor at the University of Washington. There she co-authored the first book on collaborative information seeking,.[4] She also edited a book on Personal Information Management (PIM),[5] edited a special issue of Communications of the ACM on the topic, and organized workshops on PIM and query log analysis. She has published numerous technical papers, including several best papers, and was chair of the Web Search and Data Mining (WSDM) 2012 conference.

Teevan works on 'microproductivity,' breaking down complex tasks into a series of microtasks that can be completed more easily and efficiently.[6] She also developed the concept of selfsourcing, where microtasks are completed by the task owner rather than crowd workers.[7] A 2017 article in the New York Magazine quotes her as saying, "I could probably pretty easily find an extra hour in my day at work, just in these little micro-moments of time when I’m not being productive." [8]

Awards

Teevan was named a Technology Review (TR35) 2009 Young Innovator for her research on personalized search[1] and received the CRA-W Borg Early Career Award (BECA) in 2014.[9] In 2016 she received the Karen Spärck Jones award from the British Computer Society for her "technically strong and exceptionally creative contributions to the intersection of information retrieval, user experience and social media." [10]

Personal

Teevan is married to Alexander Hehmeyer.[11] The couple live in Bellevue, Washington and have four children.[12] Teevan is an advocate for helping researchers successfully integrate parenthood and academic efforts.[9]
