Veronica Sundstedt is an Associate Professor at BTH. She has been the Head of the Department of Creative Technologies (DIKR) and afterwards the Head of the Department of the Computer Science (DIDA) at BTH during the years 2014-2020. Previously, she was a Lecturer at Trinity College Dublin and she has also been a Postdoc at the University of Bristol and the University of Bath. Veronica holds a Ph.D. in Computer Graphics from the University of Bristol and an M.Sc. in Media Technology from the University of Linköping.  Her research interests are in visual and interactive computing, in particular, perception in computer graphics and novel interaction techniques (e.g. eye tracking). Veronica co-chaired the ACM Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization conference in 2007 and the Eurographics Ireland Workshop in 2009. She also organised the first conference on Novel Gaze-Controlled Applications in 2011 at BTH. She is on the editorial board of the ACM TAP journal and was Program Chair for ACM SAP (2012). Veronica has recently published the first book on eye tracking and games called “Gazing at Games: An Introduction to Eye Tracking Control”.

Professor Markus Fiedler (MFI), born 1967, received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering with focus on information and communication technology from Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Tyskland, in 1998. Since then, he has been employed at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH), where he became senior lecturer within teletraffic systems in 2000, docent in 2006 and professor of teletraffic systems in 2011, respectively. Starting from teletraffic-related questions (such as dimensioning of communication links), his research extended to user-perceived Quality of Experience (QoE) of applications and services. He has been strongly involved in the development of the QoE area as co-organiser of three Dagstuhl Seminars and one Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop. He is also part of the research profile BigData@BTH, with specific interest in how to use Machine Learning in the QoE domain. He is now with the Dept. of Technology and Aesthetics (DITE) and focuses on building bridges between infrastructure and QoE of creations and productions within media technology (sound, picture, game, and web of things).

Yan Hu received her M.Sc. degree in Computer Science in 2010 at Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden and M.Sc. degree in Computer Application Technology in 2011 at Zhejiang University of Technology, China. By the end of 2011, she joined BTH as a Ph.D. candidate. In April 2017, she received her Ph.D. degree in Computer Science. Dr. Yan Hu currently is an associate senior lecturer at the Department of Computer Science (DIDA) at BTH. Her research interests include human-computer interaction, games for health, game addiction, biometric research in game behaviours and interaction, eHealth and applying virtual and mixed reality to the health-related area.

Francisco Lopez Luro is an Adjunct Lecturer and Phd candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH). He has a Masters in Computer Graphics from the Technical University of Valencia. He graduated in Computer Science at the Universidad Nacional del Comahue, in Argentina, where he worked as teaching assistant and research assistant in Computer Architecture, Computer Networks, Operating Systems and Computer Graphics courses. Before moving to BTH, Francisco worked for one year writing SystemC hardware simulation software for Image Processing IP cores at Imagination Technologies in the UK. His research interests are human visual perception, computer games, computer graphics, eye tracking technologies and its applications, and high performance computing. His research focus on the Phd and ViaTecH is on novel interaction and visualisation techniques for Virtual Reality and Eye Tracking applications.

Majed Elwardy is a Ph.D. student in Computer Science, at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona, Sweden. He has previously worked as a research assistant at Signal Processing and Information Systems (SPIS) Laboratory at Sabanci University, Turkey, and as a teaching assistant for the Electronics Engineering and Mathematics department at Sabanci University. Prior to that, he was appointed as a teaching and research assistant in the Electronics and Communications Engineering department (ECE), Mansoura University, Egypt. Majed’s research interest and main field of experience are Statistical Signal Processing, Machine Learning, Virtual Reality, and Brain-Computer Interfaces. Majed holds a Bachelor degree on Communications and Information Engineering (CIE) from Mansoura University (2011), and a Master of Science degree on Electronics Engineering (EE) from Sabanci University (2016).

Dang Ninh Tran is a Ph.D. student in Telecommunication Systems at the Department of Computer Science at the Blekinge Institute of Technology Karlskrona, Sweden. He has been a lecturer at The People’s Police University of Technology and Logistics, Hanoi, Vietnam. Dang Ninh’s main fields of expertise are cryptography and security of telecommunication systems. His current research focuses on data hiding techniques for new digital media such as  videos and their performance assessment using objective and subjective quality assessment methods. Dang Ninh Tran received a B.S. degree in Electronics and an M.Sc. degree in Electrical Techniques, Electronics and Telecommunications from the Academy of Cryptography Techniques, Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2010 and 2013 respectively. In 2020, he received a Licentiate degree in Telecommunication Systems from the Blekinge Institute of Technology.
