Champika is a lecturer in Computer Science at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (EEMCS) and is a member of the Data Management and Biometrics (DMB) group (https://www.utwente.nl/en/eemcs/dmb/people/). Her journey includes a PhD from the Situated Computing and Interaction group of the University Munster, Germany, two Master's degrees ( Master in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering, and a Master in Information Technology) and a BSc (Honours) degree in Statistics and Computer Science. Before joining the University of Twente, Champika worked as a Content Manager at Innodata (https://innodata.com) and as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Moratuwa in Sri Lanka (https://uom.lk). She has also served in international SIG CHI conference commitees such as MobileHCI (https://mobilehci.acm.org/2020/organizers/) and Mobile & Ubiquitous Multimedia (https://www.mum-conf.org/2020/index.php?web=committee).Â
I am an HCI researcher with a special focus on healthcare interaction technology and human-data/AI-interaction. I design innovative ways to transform digital healthcare data and coaching into novel forms (data physicalizations and sensifications), interactions, and experiences that engage and stimulate people towards a healthy lifestyle, empower people to self-manage their health conditions and support shared decision making. This includes exploring innovative ways to acquire, model, present, and embed complex healthcare data (including physiological, behavioral, and environmental data) to facilitate situated interaction with data and coaching. In contrast to current approaches that prioritize data access over sensemaking, I explore novel ways to make data interaction-triggering and enhance sensemaking from data. I put human factors and ergonomics at the center of healthcare solution design and involve stakeholders in every stage of the design and evaluation process. I follow a human-centered and design thinking-driven approach, utilizing participatory design, co-creation, and collaborative design methods, as well as smart and ubiquitous sensing and actuation technologies, to design solutions that motivate people to participate and engage.
Courses in the current academic year are added at the moment they are finalised in the Osiris system. Therefore it is possible that the list is not yet complete for the whole academic year.
