Aran LunzerAran Lunzer is a British researcher in Human-Computer Interaction, currently employed at Hokkaido University as an Associate Professor with special responsibilities for overseas research liaison. After undergraduate studies in Engineering at Cambridg University, he worked from 1986 to 1991 on software technology for IBM UK Laboratories, then returned to full-time study to obtain his PhD in Computing Science from the University of Glasgow. From 2002 to 2004, between spells in Japan, he was an Assistant Research Professor at the University of Copenhagen. Aran’s research is focused on what he calls “subjunctive interfaces”, which are interfaces that support users in examining and comparing alternative results during trial-and-error use of software applications. He believes this is a necessary but generally lacking form of support in domains such as simulation, design, and data retrieval. In 2008/9 he has been building and refining a subjunctive interface for a cancer treatment simulator, as part of a large EU Integrated Project. Read More Read Less
