My name is Steven Houben and I am a PhD student at IT University under supervision of Prof. Dr. Jakob Bardram. I am a member of the Software Development Group and Pervasive Interaction Technology Lab (pIT) as well as a teaching assistant in the Pervasive Computing course.  I am also part of the iCareNet project as a Marie Curie Research Fellow.

My research interests lie on the intersection of human-computer interactionubiquitous computing and computer supported cooperative work and is focused towards the theory, design, construction and evaluation of activity-centric computing interfaces, systems and infrastructures.

More specific I focus on investigating the potential of an activity-centric approach to human – computer interaction that is supported by activity theory, a psychological meta-framework. In this context my main interest is investigating how computers, in any form or scale, can be used as an information multiplexing unit in the interconnection and structure of human activity.
