Organizers
Jo Vermeulen | Jo is a Ph.D. student and teaching assistant at the Expertise Centre for Digital Media (EDM), a research institute of Hasselt University in Belgium. He works with Professors Karin Coninx and Kris Luyten. Jo's research interests lie at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction and Ubiquitous Computing. More specifically, he is investigating techniques that help users to understand what is happening in their Ubicomp environment and that allow them to intervene if necessary. |
Brian Y. Lim |
Brian is a Ph.D. student in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University working with Anind Dey. His research interests are in ubiquitous computing, context-aware applications. His current research looks at how to make context-aware applications intelligible, so that they can explain how they function, and users would find their behavior more believable, and find them more usable. |
Fahim Kawsar |
Fahim is a Senior Application Researcher at the Enabling Computing Technology (ECT) domain of Bell Labs, Belgium. Before moving to Bell Labs, Fahim did a post-doc at the School of Computing and Communications of Lancaster University, working with Hans Gellersen and Gerd Kortuem. From 2004-9, he was at Waseda University in Japan for postgraduate studies (MEng in 2006, PhD in 2009), and from 2004-6 also at Nokia Research Center Tokyo. His research revolves around pervasive computing with a specific focus on Internet of Things, End User Programming, Novel Interaction Techniques, and User Experience Engineering. He’s a former Microsoft Research fellow and a member of the IEEE and the ACM. His work and publications can be viewed at http://www.fahim-kawsar.net. |
