Information Architecture Staff
Per Hasle, Professor Dr., is educated within linguistics (M.Phil. 1981) as well as Computer Science (Ph.D.) in 1989. He has been employed at several universities: the University of Aarhus (8 years), the University of Cambridge (2 years), the University of Southern Denmark (3 years) and the University of Aalborg (7 years). Since 2000 full professor. Per Hasle?s research fields are temporal logic, knowledge representation, and rhetoric ? in all cases with a special emphasis on information technology.
With regard to information architecture, Per Hasle focuses on how rhetoric and IT come together in IA in general and especially within the developing field of Persuasive Design. Information systems are made and used not merely for information purposes, but increasingly also as a medium for influencing attitudes and behaviours of users. The rise of persuasive design brings rhetoric to the fore. In his research on rhetoric and information technology, PH has demonstrated how rhetoric is relevant when persuasive purposes come into play.
Tom Nyvang, Assistant professor, is educated within Humanistic Computer Science (Human Centered Informatics) and sociology from Aalborg University. His research interests include ICT and learning, organisational implementation of ICT, and systems design. He has published several papers on these subjects.
Tom Nyvang has taught at Department of Communication and Psychology and other Aalborg University departments since 1998. He has taken part in several EC founded research projects on different aspects of ICT, design and learning.

Anne Marie Kanstrup, Associate Professor at Dept. of Communications, Aalborg University, Kroghstraede 1, 9220 Aalborg, Denmark. kanstrup at hum.aau.dk
Interests I do research in design of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). My perspective is Human Centered which means that the primary purpose is to design technology to support people in their everyday living at work, at home, in the city etc. The purpose is to develop theories and methods for design of ICT from a Human Centered perspective. This research area includes Participatory Design (PD), Interaction Design/Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). I work within the domains of health informatics, green technology, e-Government and e-learning.
