Silvia M. Lindtner

I am a PhD student in the department of Informatics at the University of California Irvine working with Paul Dourish as my advisor, and also closely with Gillian Hayes and Bonnie Nardi. I am interested in Ubiquitous Computing and Human-Computer Interaction, hybrids of physical and digital spaces and their entanglements with entertainment, economic and political infrastructures, as well as urban (and suburban) computing.

This summer I am conducting research in China to study commercial mixed and hybrid reality games in Beijing and Shanghai's public entertainment spaces and their intersections with cultural concepts such as harmony and guanxi, as well as the local tourist and socio-ecomic sphere. I am working on this research in collaboration with PaPR at Intel Research .

At UCI, I can usually be found here: LUCI, the laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing at UC Irvine. Or you can contact me at: silvia.lindtner[at]uci.edu
