I am interested in improving human interaction with computer systems through empirical investigations of how computers are used and through explorations of innovative user interfaces. My publication list gives an impression of my research interests, as does this sketch of my current research. In 2015 I was awarded an ERC Consolidator grant to work on body-based user interfaces.
