Lars Erik Holmquist is Professor in Media Technology at Södertörn University, manager of the Interaction Design and Innovation lab at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science, and a Research Leader at the Mobile Life VINN Excellence Centre in Kista, Sweden. He previously led research groups at the Viktoria Institute and the Interactive Institute. He received his M.Sc. in Computer Science in 1996, his Ph.D. in Informatics in 2000, and became an associate professor in Applied IT in 2004, all at Göteborg University. Since 1997, he has been responsible for securing funding for and leading research projects with budgets totalling over 60 MSEK, including several major European projects. In 2004, he was one of 18 researchers (selected from over 400 applicants) who were awarded a 9 MSEK Individual Grant for the Advancement of Young Research Leaders (INGVAR) from the Foundation for Strategic Research. In his work he has developed many pioneering interfaces and applications in the areas of ubiquitous computing and mobile services, including personal awareness devices, mobile games, visualization techniques for small screens, tangible interfaces and ambient displays. He has published extensively in the fields of ubiquitous computing, human-computer interaction, information visualization and mobile applications, and his work has been presented at many major conferences in these fields including CHI, SIGGRAPH, UIST, UbiComp, Mobile HCI, InfoViz, and DIS. He has been active in the international ubiquitous computing community since the first academic conference in 1999. He was general chair of UbiComp 2002, the premier international conference on ubiquitous computing, and is an associate editor of the Springer journal Personal and Ubiquitous Computing. He has been a member of many technical program conference committees in the field, including UbiComp, Pervasive and PerCom. He has also been active in the human-computer interaction research community and has been a technical program committee member at CHI, UIST, NordiCHI, Graphics Interface, and many other major conferences.
