Elina Eriksson is an Associate Professor at the Department of Media Technology and Interaction Design (MID) within the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. She holds additional affiliations with Green Leap, Digital Futures, and the KTH Climate Action Center. Dr. Eriksson co-leads the Sustainable Futures Lab research group and serves as programme responsible for the new Sustainable Digitalisation master's programme launching in autumn 2024. Dr. Eriksson earned her PhD from KTH with the thesis 'Situated Reflexive Change - User-centred Design in(to) Practice' in 2013, while also working at Uppsala University during her doctoral studies. Her academic journey demonstrates a consistent focus on the intersection of technology and sustainability. Her research centers on sustainability and human-computer interaction (S-HCI), specifically exploring how computing can facilitate the transition to a more sustainable world. She investigates change processes and practices across multiple domains, with particular emphasis on energy transitions, academic travel emissions, sustainable behavior change, and futures thinking for sustainability. Dr. Eriksson approaches these challenges through both theoretical frameworks and practical interventions. Analysis of Dr. Eriksson's publication record reveals a strong trajectory in sustainable computing, with increasing focus on climate action and systemic change in recent years. Her work bridges technical computing research with social science perspectives, emphasizing practical applications for sustainability challenges across academic, organizational, and everyday contexts. Dr. Eriksson currently manages the project 'Beyond the event horizon: tools to explore local energy transformations' and contributes to 'Decreased CO2-emissions in flight-intensive organisations' and 'HabitWise - Creating Sustainable Everyday Habits.' She teaches courses including 'ICT and Sustainability,' 'Leading Complex Change Processes,' and 'Sustainable ICT in Practice,' while examining various degree projects across computing disciplines. As co-leader of the Sustainable Futures Lab, Dr. Eriksson fosters interdisciplinary research that examines how digital technologies can support sustainable practices and transitions. The lab serves as a hub for innovative approaches to sustainability challenges through human-centered computing research.
