Since autumn 2008 I am a SICSA lecturer at Strathclyde (the UK
equivalent to an Assistant Professor). I worked at several places before,
including the UK's Open University, Sussex University, the Vienna University
of Technology, following my PhD in Bremen, Germany.
Research Opportunities:
I am looking for excellent PhD students. Check out my research interests,
publications, and the Mobiquitous Lab website. Other opportunities
include visiting research periods (for a master theses or internship)
or if you have any other ideas for collaborations, drop me an email!
News
My paper 'Beyond
Affordance: Tangibles' Hybrid Nature' was accepted for TEI 2012
- if you haven't read enough theory papers by me...
Eva is Theme Chair on the Design Processes theme on the
TPC of ACM DIS'12
, June 2012 in Newcastle UK and ACM CHI'12
Interactivity Explorations chair - and will be Poster co-chair
for ITS 2012
(Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces) in Boston
- a busy year!

My research interests are the design
and user experience of 'beyond the desktop' interaction (this
includes e.g. multitouch surfaces, tangible interaction, whole-body
interaction, mobile devices, physical(ly embedded) computing),
support of social/collaborative interactions, and, very generally,
the social/societal implications of technology.
Misc
A new, beautifully
designed version of the Tangible Interaction Framework Brainstorming
Card Game is available (thanks to Designer Elisabeth Eichhorn
Berlin/Potsdam!)

Since spring 2011 I am forum editor for an article series on
Tangible and Embodied Interaction for
ACM's interaction magazine. Check out my
intro article in the
ACM DL!
Every second issue of interactions features an article for this forum (contact
me if you want to contribute!)
Over
summer 2010, we conducted a formative user study of five touchscreen
and interactive table prototype installations for the National
Trust Scotland. The new Robert Burns
Birthplace museum in Alloway hosts the final installations
and some of the flash-based games we tested are now available on
their website.

The best thing about the Livingstone Tower

Our 2nd year students do a group
project in physical computing using Arduino in my 'Approaches to
Multimedia' class. Here is an overview of the best projects in 2009
and 2010
- some of these are pretty amazing for a 6 weeks project in 3d
term of studies...

NZ ('06/7)
on flickr
(this is only
1/3d...) Most of what I know in beautiful Christchurch is now in ruins
due to the recent earthquake. Its painful to look at some of these
pictures...
