Steven Houben

My work is in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Physical Computing at the intersection of Design, Engineering, and Computer Science. My research is on Tangible and Physical Computing that blends and integrates data, interactions, and interfaces into real-world applications on digital health, education, industry 4.0, and knowledge work. I currently work on (i) Collaborative augmented device ecologies: 'design for the future of work' where devices are merged into larger intelligent ecologies that support collaboration, nomadic work, and new emerging work practices; and (ii) Physicalizing human-data interaction: 'support from sensor to physicalization' and study new co-creation processes, concepts, interaction paradigms, and data embodiments for non-expert human-data/AI interaction.
