Camilo Sanchez

Camilo Sanchez is a PhD student at the Department of Design. Camilo's research explores how to achieve more future-oriented HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) design by identifying emerging situations and considering HCI evaluations beyond the technological factor. In particular, his thesis applies the concept of anticipation to the design of interactive prototypes to question the motivations, beneficiaries, and implications of HCI in the face of uncertainty and possible futures. Previous to his doctoral studies, Camilo worked as a research assistant for the Sound and Physical Interaction research group at the Department of Art and Media at Aalto University. Camilo holds an MA in Sound in New Media from Aalto University and a BPhil in History and Science of Music from the Autonomous University of Madrid.


Talvikki Kollmann

I am a doctoral researcher at the Department of Design, researching post-pandemic (hybrid or multi-sited) knowledge and office work across Finnish organizations. I am interested in the current ways of working across different types of Finnish organizations and what long-term implications these practices have for individuals, teams and organizations at large. I use qualitative research methods, such as interviews and probes to explore the Finnish post-pandemic work context and to understand how current work practices impact or are impacted by the physical workplace, how work-related interaction takes place in the office vs. remotely and how employees manage their working time and how they experience the rhythm of their work.  

My educational and professional background is in architecture and design. I hold a vocational degree in technical drawing, a B.A. in Design and an M.A. in Collaborative and Industrial Design. I have studied design at Aalto University, Hongik University (South Korea) and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Hong Kong, S.A.R).

Cvijeta Miljak is a designer, artist and researcher. Based in Systems of Representation research group, she has been engaged in a doctoral investigation into creative participatory practices and audience engagement with exhibitions and heritage, as part of the Creative Europe Beyond Matter – Cultural heritage on the Verge of Virtual Reality project (08/2020–08/2023). Through developing methods for nonintrusive participatory evaluation practices, her interests focus on exploring emerging narratives, intermedial poetics, and implications of digital tools, to re-examine the forms of storytelling in the postdigital media. Miljak's background is in visual culture, encompassing graphic design, photography, moving image and new media, and going further back, in linguistics and literature. She is a design graduate from University of Zagreb, Faculty of Architecture, School of Design (1998) and she holds a MA degree in graphic design, with minors in new media (Dynamic Visual Design, Interactive Storytelling and Games and Storytelling), from University of Art and Design Helsinki (2009). Miljak has worked for more than two decades as a freelance designer, photographer and a video maker mainly in cultural and academic environments. Her works have been awarded, and shown internationally e.g. in Ars Electronica, Interfilm Short Film Festival Berlin, The Finnish Museum of Photography, Kiasma Theatre, International Festival of Films on Art Montreal, Pro Arte Institute in St Petersburg, New Bauhaus Festival and ISEA2022, etc. As a part-time teacher at Aalto University she has contributed to ARTX-C1019 - Introduction to Research in Design and Media (2003), and taught in AXM-E0404 - Designing and Creating Virtual Worlds (2023) and AXM-E7006 - Systems of Representation: Culture Lab (2021–2023).
