Roman Bednarik is an Associate Professor of Interactive Technologies at the University of Eastern Finland and group leader for Interactive Technologies Research Group. The group employs human behavior sensing and understanding, computational modeling and data intensive analysis methods, and design approaches to gain deep understanding of user behavior. With clinical and non-clinical partners we co-develop hardware and software systems for- and with users and operators in skilled tasks, such as microsurgery and other image-based surgeries, forest machine operation, eye-hand coordination tasks, problem solving, and programming. Implementations include intelligent training and simulation environments, medical technologies, and augmentative technologies for a wide range of user populations.
