David Ribeiro Lamas
David Lamas heads the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) group at Tallinn University's School of Digital Technologies. He also serves as the chair of the Estonian chapter of ACM's SIGCHI (http://sigchi.org) and as an expert member of IFIP's TC13 (http://ifip-tc13.org). David's main research interests are design theory and methodologies. He has been designing organizations, communities and human technologies, systems and more since his post-doc at Michigan State University as a member of the MIND Labs network (http://www.mind-labs.org). He has done so in the USA, UK, Portugal, Cape Verde, Mozambique and recently in Afghanistan and Estonia, developing through his experiences an acute understanding of how to shape and lead transformation processes. David bootstrapped the Master in Human-Computer Interaction and the Masters in Interaction Design, the latter run online jointly with the Cyprus University of Technology. He has also been grooming the local HCI community with a steady stream of training events such as the seasonal courses on Experimental Interaction Design, Research Methods in HCI, and the Design of Human Technologies since 2010. He has also run a complimentary stream of dissemination activities such as the bi-monthly meetups and the yearly celebration of the World Usability Day. This recurring event alone brings together more than 600 researchers and practitioners every year, a bit from all over the world, but mainly from the Baltics and Nordic countries. David's contribution to the worldwide HCI community is also relevant as he served as chair of INTERACT 2019, NordiCHI 2020, AfriCHI 2021 and ICIDIS 2021. David also has a solid project participation record, taking part, leading and supporting his team in various research, development, educational and training other projects. Finally, David has successfully supervised forty-eight master students, seven doctoral students and two post-doc researchers. He currently supervises twelve doctoral students, three of which about to complete their studies.
