Mats Lind, Professor
My main contributions as a teacher in this program are the modules on usability evaluation methods and their scientific basis along with the modules on perception and visual design. These are areas I feel strongly about and have a large experience in both as a practitioner, researcher and teacher. As program coordinator and director of studies in HCI at the IS department I have been deeply involved in the planning process of this program. I think we have been able to put together a strong and unique program that I hope is exactly what you have been looking for.

Anders Jansson, Associate Professor
I look forward to being part of this new program with students from different disciplines entering the master level together for a master in HCI. I assisted in the planning process of it and I believe it will attract students from different backgrounds and that future work opportunities are good. My background is in psychology and my main interest is in dynamic decision making processes. I focus on work analysis and the presentation of dynamic information in operators’ interaction with complex systems. You will meet me in the modules on humans in complex systems and, most probably, contextual usability.
Iordanis Kavathatzopoulos, Lecturer
My background is in psychology and my main interest is in ethical issues of information technology. It is not easy to combine ethics and technology especially if you want to reach practical results. Accordingly the focus of my research and teaching is on developing and applying usable methods and tools to consider ethical aspects during systems construction and systems use.
Else Nygren, Associate professor
Bengt Sandblad, Professor
My background is, since many years, research about usability and efficiency of computer systems at workplaces. I have studied how computer systems are developed and used in different sectors of working life. My teaching will be related to courses in basic human-computer interaction, process control and operator systems, health care applications and more. Lectures and assignments will cover theoretical aspects, methods for analysis, design and evaluation as well as practical applications.
