I am an assistant professor at Aalborg University in Copenhagen at the Department of Computer Science in the Human-Centered Computing Group. My expertise in HCI research focus on temporality in terms of: long-term and short-term design processes, and fast and slow paced design thinking, and how time and temporality shape people's creativity and design processes. This includes exploring how temporality plays a role in design and how we may design tools for supporting fast or slow design thinking. Considering the accelerating role of AI technology in many contexts, I critically explore the temporality of AI technology and the impact on design processes and creativity.

Bachelor project

Pulse Sensor Augmented Horror Game - Bachelor Project

For my bachelor project, I developed a horror survival game inspired by the game Slender Man. Via a pulse sensor connected to the player's ear lobe, the player's heart rate provided bio feedback to regulate the difficulty of the game. This was to investigate how a desktop computer game can be a bodily experience like eg. a Kinect game.
