Dr Shenando Stals is a Research Associate on the SECRIOUS project and lecturer in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. He is originally from The Netherlands, where he obtained a BSc in Technical Informatics, and a MSc in Human-Technology Interaction from the Eindhoven University of Technology. As part of his MSc, he came to Edinburgh as an Erasmus exchange student, fell in love with the city, and never left. He obtained a PhD in Urban Interaction Design (Computing) from Edinburgh Napier University, investigating the emotional person-place relationships of citizens with personally meaningful places in the urban environment, and using design fictions to envision how this could inform the design of technological devices and services for the hybrid city of the (near) future. His research interests include UX design, HCI, affective computing, serious games, and speculative design.

Laura completed a PhD in astrophysics at the University of Nottingham in 2004. After a brief stint in adult education, Laura retrained to teach secondary school in 2006. Several enjoyable years of teaching teenagers Maths, Physics, and Astronomy were followed by a move to Chicago to work at the Alder Planetarium as an educator and web-developer for the Zooniverse, the world's largest and most popular online citizen science project. Laura was eventually promoted to run the Zooniverse team alongside the Adler’s Teen Programs and Hack Day portfolio. She has recently joined the ITT group to work on Public Engagement for the SECRIOUS project.
