Lars Erik Holmquist,
Ph.D., lab leader:
I
founded the Future Applications Lab in 2002. I have worked in areas
such as focus+context
visualization (Flip Zooming); mobile CSCW (The Hummingbird); mobile
user interfaces (WEST, PowerView); tangible user interfaces (Web
Stickers); and novel information displays (Informative Art, Textile
Diplays). My Ph.D. dissertation Breaking
the Screen Barrier was presented in 2000. I have been in the
program committee for many conferences such as UIST and Interact, was chair of the UbiComp 2002 conference,
and is an associate editor of Springer's Journal of Personal and
Ubiquitous Computing. Before
FAL, I founded and led the PLAY
research group (1997-2001).

Ylva Fernaeus, PhD.
My research interests are grounded in the design of creative, emotional
and casual technology use. In March 2007, I defended a PhD thesis –
Let’s make a digital patchwork - in which I explored social, bodily and
cultural forms of computer programming. My current work is concerned
with novel robot technologies, with special focus on qualities that
people are attracted by, and how these could be further addressed in
reseach. I joined FAL in late 2007.
