Organizers

Janne Mascha Beuthel is a Research Fellow and PhD student at the Human-Computer Interaction Division the University of Salzburg, Austria. Her PhD research revolves around the body: she focuses on how to understand bodily experiences of others through (interactive) materials. By building on practices from fashion and textile design, she creates wearable artefacts that embody personal, felt experiences and that allow others to wear them on their own body.

Marie-Monique Schaper is a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Computational Thinking and Design, Aarhus University. Her research focuses onmerging embodied technologies and design research in diverse disciplines of interaction. Marie focuses on exploring novel strategies for participatory design methods to promote embodied awareness around emerging technologies. She has worked in design projects with intergenerational stakeholders in the media industry and in academic contexts.

Martina Schuß is a Research Fellow at the CARISSMA research and test center at the Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt and a PhD student at the Johannes-Kepler University. Her research focus is on the future of mobility in general and shared automated vehicles in particular. In her work she takes a feminist standpoint including a variety of groups of people into her research, as well as participatory design methods.

Elena Márquez Segura is a Beatriz Galindo Distinguished Researcher and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Madrid, Spain). An important strand of her work focuses on embodied design methods that leverage play and playfulness, and the physical and social engagement of designers, end users, and other stakeholders for the creation of better future technology-supported experiences, often in application domains involving movement, social interaction, and play (e.g. games, sports, training, and rehabilitation).

Claudia Núñez-Pacheco is a Postdoctoral researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Digital Futures in Sweden. Her research investigates how bodily ways of knowing can be used as crafting materials for design ideation, evaluation, insight and empathy. In her research journey, Claudia has engaged in a multidisciplinary exploration that merges human-computer interaction (HCI) and first-person methods with tools from experiential psychology.

Andreas Riener is professor of HCI and VR at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt and founder of the interdisciplinary HCI Group at THI. He conducts hypotheses-driven experimental research in HCI/human-technology cooperation in future mobility. Andreas is an IEEE, ACM, HFESmember and steering committee chair of ACM AutomotiveUI and chair of the ACMSIGCHI German Chapter.
