Cristian Bogdan

Cristian Bogdan is a Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, within the Media Technology and Interaction Design division. His work focuses on human-computer interaction, interaction design, and human-centered software engineering, with the goal of making complex technologies accessible and actionable for people.

Education & Courses: While explicit degrees are not listed, Bogdan has extensive teaching responsibilities. He is the examiner for seven advanced-level degree-project courses and teaches or coordinates courses such as Advanced Interaction Programming (DH2643), Interaction Programming and Dynamic Web (DH2642), and Software Development for Interactive Media (DM1595). He founded the course DH2400 Physical Interaction Design and Realization.

Research Interests: Bogdan’s research integrates human-computer interaction with sustainable design, virtual and mixed reality, and programming education. He explores how embodied interaction, sonic feedback, and declarative models can create intuitive systems for domains ranging from energy sustainability to public transport and clinical therapy.

Publications Trend: His recent articles (2020-2025) reveal a concentration on virtual and mixed reality applications—including locomotion techniques, exposure therapy, and block-based programming in VR—alongside software engineering topics such as dependency bloat and cross-platform frameworks. Sustainability themes appear in studies on energy feedback and inclusive transport.

Advising & Grants: Since 2006 he has graduated five PhD students (Kis, Hasselqvist, Rauh, Koller, Hedlund) and co-supervised two others (Sandor, Lundström). Grant details are not disclosed in the supplied text.

Labs & Teams: He is affiliated with the MID division (Media Technology and Interaction Design) at KTH, but specific lab names or larger team structures are not provided.
