Peter H. Kahn Jr.

Peter H. Kahn, Jr. is Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington. He also directs the Human Interaction With Nature and Technological Systems (HINTS) Lab. The HINTS Lab seeks to address – from an ethical stance – two world trends that are powerfully reshaping human existence: (1) the degradation if not destruction of large parts of the natural world, and (2) unprecedented technological development, both in terms of its computational sophistication and pervasiveness. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1988. His research projects are currently being funded by the National Science Foundation.
