Research Areas
The overall theme of my research is HCI. Within this area I work with three streams of research emphasizing theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of usability/user experience evaluation and interaction design:
Measuring User Experience (UX): Development and assessment of evaluation methods that reliably measure UX in digital products. This includes a combination of quantitative real-time physiological measurements and post-hoc qualitative statements from users.
Usability Evaluation (UE) in Software Development (SD): Development of methods to overcome the barrier of high resource demands. This barrier prohibits interplay between usability evaluation and software development practices. Methods are assessed in industry practices.
HCI in Health Informatics: Emphasis on key usability problems that developers need to be aware of when designing home healthcare applications for elderly users. This stream also includes assessments of usability evaluation methods in relation to health informatics.
