Enforced socializing at Mobile Life :-)

The weekly Wednesday coffee, October 27th, in the centre. Jarmo Laaksolahti is giving a farewell and good luck speach to Helena Mentis. Helena has spent the last 12 months as an ERCIM postdoctoral fellow in the centre. She has contributed to the Supple project as well as put in work in the General Interaction Models group. Good Luck on your future work and at Microsoft research, Cambridge, Helena.

Since 2009, Zeynep has been involved in various projects in Mobile Life. She started with a project in the Pervasive Games group by looking at player engagement in collaborative play and how the game play experiences could be reported between the players and the game masters. She continued with working in the Future Applications Lab in the Mobile2.0 group and has since then worked with design, deployments and evaluations of various concepts for future mobile services.

She has also been involved in side projects looking into different ways in which technology can support teachers in their teaching practices when teaching science topics to young learners through kinesthetic learning.

She is currently leading a project focusing on the design and distribution of mobile services throughout the mobile ecosystem and understanding the positions and influences of the various actors in the ecosystem. Among her interests are pervasive gaming, mobile service design, service deployment, methods adaptation in studying the effects and uses of mobile services, the mobile ecosystem and various ways in which technology can engage and provoke fun and enjoyment.
