Public visualization displays of citizen data: Design, impact and implications (original) (raw)

In the inspiring and windy journey of my doctoral research, I was fortunate to receive the support of many amazing people. This is an attempt to thank them. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisors, Prof. Sergi Jorda and Prof. Andrew Vande Moere for supporting this dissertation and teaching me independence and persistence in research. You both have been an inspiration for me-as persons, and as researchers. I would also like to thank Prof. Josep Blat and Dr. Ernesto Arroyo for introducing me to research in the first place and giving me guidance and freedom to find out and follow what I am passionate about. I am very grateful to Prof. Joerg Mueller who hosted me in his Mobile and Physical Interaction Lab at the Telekom Innovation Laboratories and gave me the confidence to reach higher when collaborating with his colleagues. The work conducted throughout this dissertation would not be possible without the support of friends and colleagues who provided me with timely help and creative advise, and made me learn a lot about interaction design research, as well as friendship. I deeply thank to my Barcelona family: Martin Inderbitzin, Stiliana Mitzeva, Encarni Marcos and Sytse Wierenga, and to my friends and partners in crime Robert
