Welcome!

My name is Mikael Wiberg and I am an Associate Professor here at the Department of Informatics, Umeå University, Sweden. I received my Ph.D. in Informatics at Umeå University in 2001.

Short biography

Mikael Wiberg, PhD is an associate professor at the department of Informatics at Umeå university in Sweden. From this position he supervises PhD students, and leads and conducts interaction research in several of his research projects in collaboration with industry partners including e.g. Google, Ericsson, Philips and ICEHOTEL. Wiberg is also the Research Director at UID - Umeå Institute of Design (swe: “Designhögskolan”) at Umeå University. Wiberg has served as the main supervisor for several PhD students and in his own research, mostly focused on mobile interaction, the emerging interaction society, interaction design and interactive architecture, he has published his work in a number of international journals, including ToCHI, BIT, IEEE Network, etc. and he has also published his work in books (including his role as editor for the book “The Interaction Society”, and author of the forthcoming book “Interactive Textures for Architecture and Landscaping: Digital elements and technologies”). He has also published his work in encyclopedias, and in international conference proceedings. He has served as chair, reviewer, organiser, associate editor, and session chair for a number of international conferences. Wiberg is a member of the CMID Research group, the Research Network for Mobile Interaction & Pervasive Social Devices, and the IDE - Interaction in Dynamic Environments Research Network. He also serves as an official contact person for the research areas Human-Computer Interaction Design and Social interaction design within the research organization UCIT - Umeå Center for Interaction Technology. Last year, 3-5 Dec ´08 he served as general conference chair for MUM´08 – 7th international conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia in cooperation with ACM SigMobile (this year, MUM´09 is organized by Microsoft research at Cambridge, UK). Currently Wiberg is also associate editor for ISJ - Information Systems Journal.
