Hi, I am Enrico Rukzio, and I am an academic fellow and lecturer in the Embedded Interactive Systems group at the Computing Department at Lancaster University. This is my personal home page describing my research interests, listing my publications, showing the projects in which I participate(d) and providing information about my teaching.
My research focuses on the intersection between mobile and pervasive computing, human-computer interaction and software engineering. In the last years I worked primary on mobile interactions in which the user interacts with the real world trough a mobile device which interacts with smart objects. I call this specific mobile interaction technique physical mobile interaction (PMI).
I joined the Lancaster University in 2006. Prior to coming to Lancaster, I worked between February 2004 and September 2006 as a research assistant and PhD student in the Embedded Interaction (former personal homepage) and the Media Informatics Group (former personal homepage) at the University of Munich (LMU). I received my doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) at the University of Munich (Germany) in 2007. Between September 2002 and January 2004 I worked as a research assistant in the Heinz-Nixdorf Endowed Chair for Multimedia Technology (former personal homepage) at the Technical University of Dresden. Before that, I completed my MSc (German: Diplom, Title: Dipl.-Inf.) in Computer Science at the Technical University of Dresden.
