Author: Erik Gronvall
Post-Doc, Ph.D.
Erik Gronvall holds a Post-doc position at Aarhus University, Computer Science department and is affiliated with the Center for Pervasive Healthcare and the research centre Participatory IT (PIT).
In Aarhus, he is a Project Manager for different multi-disciplinary research projects that works with Participatory Design and User-Driven Innovation in healthcare. Interests relate to the development of technology for people that usually do not represent target groups of novel technology, for example elderly and people with different disabilities and to investigate the role of healthcare IT in non-clinical settings such as private homes.
Current research interests can be found in the borderline where the technology and the users meet and include issues like Pervasive Healthcare, Method development for user driven innovation, end-user control in ubiquitous systems, construction/deconstruction and inspection strategies in ubiquitous computing and how to develop technologies that can be used by diverse and heterogeneous user groups. Erik also work with more Physical Computing systems such as shape-changing objects and how users experience and can interact with such objects.
He has a Ph.D. in Information and Communication Technologies from the University of Florence, Italy (2007). Previously, Erik has also been a post-doc and lecturer (e.g. in Java, Web development/WEB 2.0 and Physical computing) at the University of Siena. Before moving to Denmark and Italy, he worked in Sweden (as a consultant, as employee and within his own company) with mainly smart home development and novel solutions for elderly care.
