+

is a postdoctoral researcher in the Centre. His areas of interest are human-computer interaction and media technology, informed by knowledge on human expertise and multisensory perception, from multiple disciplinary viewpoints. This is apparent both in his research towards developing system for live artistic audio-visual performance (the topic of his PhD research at University College London), and in the basic science experiments he conducted employing Virtual Reality technology, their outcomes contributing to neuroscience and psychology (the topic of his post-doctoral research at the eventLAB, Universitat de Barcelona). Fundamental to his work is the human ability to develop advanced levels of expert skills, and how these form the core to human professional and leisure activities. This refers both to professional domain expertise and to the multitude of other tasks we carry out daily, ludic or other. Two notions are central throughout: first that our cognitive abilities are not limited to the brain, with the body acting only as a vessel, but that our bodies and brains are one inseparable whole. This is informed from the philosophy of science literature on the various ‘Grounded’ cognition concepts.

Second, and related, is the notion that the majority of what we do, even some of the superficially simplest activity, actually demands considerable expertise. Throughout our lives, we have amassed extensive training, mastering a number of skills. It is a challenge in ICT research to then harness these existing skills, giving rise to what Marshall McLuhan refers to as extending technologies, in contrast to those he refers to as amputating ones.

His spare time interests are closely related to his research interests. He plays music (drumset, synthesizers and studio engineering),and also takes great pleasure in working on real-time audiovisual artistic performance, the subject of his PhD research, and a context for which he keeps developing software.

Inger is vising the centre from University of Tampere, where she is currently pursuing a PhD on game sound design. Her research looks into the semantic and aesthetic aspects of game sound, exploring the design space of sound effects and environmental ambiance, and the emotional and psychoacoustic processes by which game sounds contribute to game experience.
Inger holds a M.Sc. in computer science from the University of Tampere (2003). Before coming to Mobile Life, she worked in various research projects at Aalto University. Most recenlty, she has been applying psychophysiology as a way to investigate experience within gaming and other high performance scenarios, and as input for emotion-responsive user interfaces.

is a master student in the field of Human – Computer Interaction, from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Her main interest lies within interaction design and has the last two years focused on learning about different interaction design methods through different projects. She has previously read a bachelor in print communication, where she learnt about graphical technology and communication. However, her main interest for the future lies within HCI since she finds it more innovating and challenging. Lidija joined the Mobile Life Centre in January 2014 to conduct her master thesis, connected to the project “Internet of Sports”. She is researching how the experience of running can be increased for the ordinary runner during a running session, by using interactive materials and technology. This will be done by investigating two extreme groups of runners, night – and trail runners, who assumingly uses the latest sport technology and to see experiences they strive for when running. The results will end up in 2-3 design proposals for her master thesis.

Louise Barkhuus is an associate professor at Stockholm University and a senior researcher at the Mobile Life Centre. Her research focuses on social interaction through and around mobile and ubiquitous technologies, particular in relation to issues of privacy, friendship maintenance, location-reporting and game playing. She looks at the intersection of technology and social interaction by combining the development of prototype applications with newly adopted commercial technologies. Her recent work includes studies of social media as facilitators of ad-hoc socializing and analyses of privacy issues within ubiquitous computing research. 

Before coming to the Stockholm University and Mobile Life Centre Louise Barkhuus was working as a research scientist at University of California, San Diego, serving as the PI of an NSF funded project on technologies for supporting social science research. 

Louise Barkhuus gained her Ph.D from the IT University of Copenhagen in 2004; her dissertation focused on context-aware computing and its complications for implementation in a social world.

+

is a visiting scholar who is currently a post doctoral researcher in the Department of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine. Her research brings together approaches from Human Computer Interaction, Anthropology, and Science and Technology Studies for the study of sociotechnical systems. She conducts ethnographic research on software systems and computational work, focusing on the cultures and politics of design in organizations and digital societies.

Her research interests include materiality of computing, infrastructure studies, design ethnography, embodiment and temporality, software studies, and feminist and critical theory. Her current work examines the relationship between computational work and time in the case of a long-lived computational infrastructure project supporting on ongoing NASA-ESA space science mission. This project considers how people's careers are shaped by obsolescence and how they approach concerns of legacy, inheritance and survival of computational practices at the end of project life-cycles.

Marisa is a member of the Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing and the Intel Science and Technology Center for Social Computing at UC Irvine and will be visiting with the Mobile Life Centre this year before starting a faculty position at the IT University of Copenhagen.

is a visiting PhD-candidate from the Stockholm School of Economics department of media and economic psychology. Mattias visits to finish a PhD in pervasive game design for advertising and learning.

He researches the consumers´/players´ experiences and reactions, when exposed to persuasive pervasive games for learning and advertising. His work bridges consumer behaviour sciences, game design and play theory. The research is carried out in cooperation with the Energy Design Studio of the Interactive Institute and focuses on causal statistical modelling of data from field experiments with the prototype pervasive-persuasive games, see also Agents Against Power Waste.

He was also business-research leader for  the FP6 project IperG that developed prototype pervasive game design.

studied Computer Engineering at IST in Lisbon, specializing in Graphical Computing and EIS. Pedro did his Master’s work at Mobile Life on the Affective Health, graduating in 2008. Since that year he has been doing his PhD at Mobile Life. Pedro's PhD is based on fieldwork in Vanuatu, among communities, which had only very recently been introduced to the world of mobile communications. Getting those first hand impressions and reflecting on their mobile interaction has been the inspiring force behind his research. How do our bodies orient themselves around the technology? Is it legitimate to spend so much time playing with our mobiles? What does it mean for economically constrained communities? How can we think about and help alleviate this tension? These are some of the questions which motivate Pedro's work. +46737078729 pedro@mobilelifecentre.org

is a Senior Researcher in the Centre. She holds a PhD in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and has a background in engineering. Her interest the past years has been on technologies from the perspective of being the design material we as designers and researchers in HCI and interaction systems design work with. Petra argues for more of ground-level material explorations of technologies in order to find what potential these hold for design. And further, how we need methods and tools to help us better talk about and share this knowledge in the multidisciplinary design teams we work in. Petra currently leads the Material Explorations project within Mobile Life. (Photo: Edis Potori)
