Alexandra Weilenmann has since the late 90s studies the use of mobile technology. Drawing upon methods from social science, she investigates the use of mobile technologies in a range of very different settings. She has studied the use of radio and awareness technology at Arlanda airport, radio use at London underground, teenagers’ and seniors’ use of mobile phones, and mobile phones and driving. Weilenmann’s studies on mobile phone use is extensively cited and used internationally, in both research and industry. She has published in such venues as International Journal of Human Computer Interaction, Journal of Pragmatics, Journal of Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, and Environment and Planning A. Weilenmann’s research has also been widely recognized in media, including all major Swedish news media, as well as several international, e.g. CNN International and Times.

During 2010-2013 Weilenmann is working as a VinnMer Fellow with a research grant from Vinnova’s (Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems). The project is titled Mobile services for interaction, communication and learning and involves Mobile Life at Stockholm University and LinCS as partners.

Weilenmann holds a PhD in informatics, and is Associate Professor (“docent”) in Applied Information Technology. She is employed at the Department of Applied Information Technology, Göteborg University/Chalmers.
