Ingela Nyström
Ingela Nyström is a professor of visualization. Her research concerns mathematics and information technology meeting the medicine. Thanks to her research, in the future, surgeons will be able to perform the surgery on the computer before they open the patient. On scanned three-dimensional images of the injured patients, models are made in the computer that give the surgeon better control over how the injury actually looks. What before was invisible under the skin is made visible.

Anders Arweström Jansson
Research in human-computer interaction is about how to make people and technology work together. Anders Arweström Jansson, Professor of Human-Computer Interaction at the Department of Information Technology in Uppsala, wants us to develop computer systems so that those who work with different types of traffic or in the process industry have the right computer support when doing their jobs. One challenge is to get technological development and knowledge about how people work to go hand in hand. In order to develop technical systems, one has to understand the role of human beings in the systems and the role of human beings is underestimated.
