Rate My Professor Lian Loke

Associate Professor Lian Loke serves in the Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning at the University of Sydney, where she holds the position of Associate Professor in Design and Computation. Her research centers on human-computer interaction, with a particular emphasis on movement-based interaction design, soma-based design, embodied approaches, aesthetics of interaction, somatic practices, wearable technology, interactive art, and participatory design. She has made substantial contributions to these areas through highly cited publications, including 'Moving and making strange: An embodied approach to movement-based interaction design' (2013, 335 citations), 'Embracing first-person perspectives in soma-based design' (2018, 222 citations), 'Toolkits, cards and games – a review of analogue tools for collaborative ideation' (2021, 189 citations), 'Understanding movement for interaction design: frameworks and approaches' (2007, 146 citations), 'The somatic turn in human-computer interaction' (2018, 134 citations), 'Labanotation for design of movement-based interaction' (2005, 122 citations), and 'Body maps: A generative tool for soma-based design' (2022, 116 citations). Loke co-edited the book 'Experience as Skill: The Somatic Turn in Human-Computer Interaction' in 2018, further advancing the somatic perspective in the field.
