Brief bio

Dr. Petteri Nurmi received his M.Sc. in 2006 from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki, and his PhD in 2009. He is a Docent of Computer Science since 2012. Since 2009, he has worked first as a Postdoctoral Researcher, and, from 2012 onwards, as Senior Researcher, at the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT. He is the co-leader of the Adaptive Computing Research Group (jointly with Doc. Patrik Floréen). His research activities include mobile sensing and localization, mobile user modeling and recommender systems, and mobile interaction. He is a regular member of program committees for conferences in these fields, such as PerCom, IUI, MobileHCI, ISMAR and Pervasive.
