Moved to Sweden

sicsMLlogoAs of November 2nd I’m a post-doc researcher at SICS and the Mobile Life Centre in Kista (Stockholm), Sweden!

I’m very happy to be on the receiving end of an ERCIM post-doc fellowship and will be working closely with a.o. Lars Erik Holmquist and his excellent (and fun!) group of researchers. The research here revolves around  mobile interaction, human-robot interaction,  ubiquitous computing and physical and affective experiences, all from a user-oriented design perspective.

Diadem project at MobileHCI’09

Oldstyle!This week we’ll be at MobileHCI’09 in Bonn, presenting a poster on our research within the Diadem project. One of the main goals of the Diadem project is to detect potentially hazardous airborne pollutants in urban-industrial areas using input from both a distributed sensor network and people through their mobile phones. In the proposed interaction model, a semi-autonomous system will use sensor data to detect abnormal situations, while people in the affected area will be requested by a mobile service to report additional observations, such as chemical smells (which may not be the easiest to describe).

This raises quite some interesting issues.  Continue reading

New survey up!

We have lots of new stuff going on!

We’ve just put up a survey on assistive agents in cars. The survey is part of both my dissertation work on human-computer interaction and of a larger study on assistive in-vehicle technology.

You can find the questionnaire here:

Filling out the survey will take you about 10-20 minutes.
