Since autumn 2008 I am a SICSA lecturer at Strathclyde (the UK equivalent to an Assistant Professor in the US  system). 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 pages, prior projects, publications, and the Mobiquitous Lab website. Potential candidates can e.g. apply for a SICSA scholarship.
Other opportunities include visiting research periods (for a master theses for example) or if you have any other ideas for collaborations, drop me an email!

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.
