Doctoral student (licentiat) in Computer Science

Interaction design is concerned with the design of human interaction, with or through computer based artefacts.Of particular importance within the subject area is the use and expression of artefacts, the interplay between events and contexts, and the use of diverse design expressions.The research area is multidisciplinary and combines elements from areas such as computer science and yechnology, cognitive science, aesthetics, informatics and social science.

Research within the area spans from theory to methodology and includes issues such as design expressions and methods, use and quality, acquisition competence, organization and management, and also critical and experimental design of interactivity.The research area has expanded from traditional system- and media-oriented approaches to encompass service and product perspectives.

The research group at Human-Centered Systems manages and participates in prominent projects focusing design expressions in interaction and service design, acquisition of usable IT-systems, design management and design in user-driven innovation.
