Marta Lárusdóttir  

Marta Lárusdóttir has focused on studying and suggesting new user centred design methods and processes, focusing on user needs, prototyping and evaluation methods. She has suggested the Contextual Persona and the Contextual ThinkAloud methods to incorporate work environment aspects into software development. Additionally, she has studied how user-centered design can be integrated into agile software development, especially in Scrum and Kanban projects. She has taken part in several consulting projects for the public authorities in Iceland, for measuring usability in the procurement process for IT systems. She is the WP3 lead in the AI-PROCARE project.  

Åsa Cajander  

Professor Åsa Cajander at Uppsala University is a leading Nordic researcher in the digital work environment and AI. Her work focuses on how user-centered design and work environment perspectives can be embedded in the procurement and implementation of AI systems.
