Biography
Research
My research interest is mostly geared towards the history and culture of computing. Especially here I am interested on different subcultures, such as demoscene and the players. Subcultures of hobbyists and fandoms with their histories and cultures are also interest of mine, and these include LANs, demoparties, role-playing, live-roleplaying (LARPs), and science fiction fandom.
Teaching
Currently I am one of the responsible teachers for the Bachelor's thesis and Usability, User Experience and Analytics courses.
