Marije Kanis
Senior researcher
Dr Marije Kanis is a senior researcher at Applied Quantum Computing and has been affiliated with the Digital Media & Creative Industries knowledge centre for over fifteen years. In her work, she researches and designs innovative technological and creative applications that contribute to public wellbeing, with a particular focus on the interaction between people, society and technology. Kanis focuses on making emerging technologies, such as quantum computing, accessible and meaningful through creative and participatory methods. Together with students, researchers and industry partners, she develops ways in which people can better understand, experience and help shape complex technologies. Her research combines interaction design, social impact and future-oriented thinking. She graduated cum laude in Interaction Design from HKU, studied Computer Science at Leiden University and obtained her PhD from Brunel University on the topic of ‘Positive expressive technologies for social wellness’. Previously, she worked at MIT, Media Lab Europe, HKU and Electronic Arts, among others. Her work has been presented and published internationally.
