Robert E. Horn Biography

In 1967 Horn founded the company that is now known as Information Mapping, Inc. He served as CEO of the company for 15 years before moving on to pursue other research interests. In addition to Information Mapping, Inc., Horn's career has incorporated many research and development projects at universities, research centers, corporations, and five start-ups that he founded.

Currently, Horn is a visiting scholar at Stanford University's Center for the Study of Language and Information and continues his research with a special interest in policy communication, social learning, and knowledge management (especially in biotechnology and national security affairs). His recent development of visual argumentation mapping has resulted in the publication of the Mapping Great Debates series, which, in the past year and a half, has received a full-page review in Nature, as well as being hung in a national museum in The Hague as part of an exhibit on information design as a fine art.
