Dr. Steven Houben

Assistant Professor of Human-Computer Interaction

Lancaster University - School of Computing and Communications

I am Assistant Professor and a technologist/consultant working in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). My research and overall expertise lies on the intersection of Design, Engineering and Computer Science.

Research — My research is on collaborative augmented device ecologies and physical and tangible human-data interaction, both with applications in digital health, industry 4.0, and knowledge work. My research combines human-centred design and interaction concepts with new interactive systems, machine learning, toolkits and interaction techniques. Please find a selection of my publications

and a full list on Google Scholar, dblp and ACM DL.

Teaching — I teach and direct university-level courses on design engineering, human-computer interaction, and physical computing. My teaching interest is on courses that combined design, HCI and computer science. I hold a PGCert for 'Academic Practice' and am a 'Fellow of the Higher-Education Academy'.
