Marcus Alexander Janum

Marcus Alexander Janum serves as an Instructor in the Human-Centred Computing section at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Computer Science (DIKU). His work focuses on advancing the relationship between computational technology and human activities within a collaborative research environment dedicated to innovation and well-being.

His research spans Human-Computer Interaction, Extended Reality (XR/VR/AR), Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Health Informatics, and Digital Fabrication. Key emphases include designing novel interaction techniques, developing health-focused information systems, and creating inclusive computing technologies through initiatives like FemTech. The section prioritizes empirical studies with end-users to build solutions grounded in human capabilities.

The Human-Centred Computing section operates modern laboratories supporting shape-changing interfaces, sensing technologies, and fabrication research. It fosters a collaborative culture through groups like the Confronting Data Co-lab, which examines ethical implications of data-driven societal trajectories, and the Fabrication Lab, which pioneers software/hardware tools for digital manufacturing.
