Dr Jaz Hee-jeong Choi
Jaz Hee-jeong Choi is the Deputy Director of the Urban Informatics Research Lab and ARC Australian Postdoctoral Fellow (Industry) at the Institute for Creative Industries and Innovation, QUT. Her research interests are in playful technology, particularly the ways in which various forms of playful interaction are designed, developed, and integrated in different cultural contexts. In her doctoral research, she developed a new conceptual approach to urban sustainability that recognises ‘play’ as the core of transformative interactions in cities as technosocial networks. Her current research explores designing and developing playful ubiquitous technologies to cultivate sustainable food culture in urban environments. She has collaborated with leading international researchers and published in books and journals across various disciplines, and given invited talks at major international conferences including the opening keynote at the 2010 UNESCO Creative Cities Conference. She is currently editing a book titled Mixing Human-Computer Interactions with Human-Food Interactions to be published by MIT Press in 2013. Her website is at www.nicemustard.com
