Aaron Quigley is a full Professor of Human Computer Interaction and head of school in Computer Science and Engineering in the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. His research interests include discreet computing, global HCI, pervasive and ubiquitous computing and information visualisation. He has previously organised workshops at CHI and AVI on multi-device interaction.
Nicolai Marquardt is an associate professor in Physical Computing at the University College London. At the UCL Interaction Centre he works on projects in the research areas of ubiquitous computing, cross-device interaction, interactive surfaces, sensor-based systems, prototyping toolkits and physical user interfaces. He is co-author of the Sketching User Experiences Workbook (Morgan Kaufmann 2011) and Proxemic Interactions textbook (Morgan & Claypool 2015).
Ilhan Aslan is a research scientist of the European Research Center at Huawei Device, Co., Ltd. He has a background in computer science and artificial intelligence. His postdoctoral research focus is broadly on embodied interaction and enabling human-artifact symbiosis. He turns inspirations from embodied and situated theories of cognition and related frameworks (including Somaesthetics) into the design of multi-modal interfaces.
Ran JU is a research scientist of the Software Technology Planning \& Pre-Research department at Huawei Device, Co., Ltd. He holds a PhD in computer science and his doctoral research is mainly on multimedia. Currently he is focusing on the research of interactive multimedia, e.g. AI based UX design and cross-device visual content (including GUI, image and video) adaptation.
