Biography
Margaret Burnett received the B.A. degree in mathematics from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. She worked for several years for large and small companies, before beginning her academic career as an assistant professor at Michigan Technological University.

She is currently a professor of Computer Science in the School of EECS at Oregon State University. Her research interests are where programming languages, human-computer interaction, and software engineering meet: namely, in visual programming languages and in how programming language and software engineering research can be applied to support end-user programming.

Burnett is a recipient of the National Science Foundation's Young Investigator Award. She has served on the program committee for the Visual End User Workshop, the IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages, the ACM Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation, the ACM Conference on Functional Programming Languages; on the steering committee for the IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages (now the IEEE Symposium on Human-Centric Computing Languages and Environments). She is a senior member of IEEE and a member of ACM and the IEEE Computer Society.
