Janice Searleman, Adjunct Research Professor of Computer Science, Clarkson University, USA. Searleman graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Massachusetts, and a M.S. in Computer Science from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She then worked alongside Herb Gelernter in Artificial Intelligence on the SYNCHEM2 project with a team of graduate students and a post-doc.

As an active member of the ACM SIGGRAPH Digital Art committee, Searleman has been working on a Digital Art Archive for ACM SIGGRAPH and International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA). The archives contain art resources from SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, ISEA, and the Digital Art Community Online Exhibitions. It is meant to be an easy-to-use and highly interconnected resource for artists, educators, art historians, students, and the art community.
