About:
I am an Associate Professor of Human-Computer Interaction at the Interaction Design and Software Engineering Division, within the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden.
Vision:
As a researcher in Human-Computer Interaction, my primary goal is to envision a future where technology enhances human capabilities while preserving our autonomy. My teaching and research span Human-Robot Interaction, Prototyping in Interaction Design, Tangible Interaction, Human-Centered AI, and Design Fiction, with a focus on designing systems and interactions that are thoughtfully integrated into our everyday life.
Opportunities:
I am always open to hosting motivated students and researchers for research exchanges, internships, or thesis projects related to Human-Computer Interaction, Human-Robot Interaction, Tangible Interaction, and Human-Centered AI. If you're interested in collaborating or joining the research group, feel free to
reach out!
