Teaching Areas

  • Human-Computer-Interaction & Interaction Design
  • Virtual Reality, Computer Graphics, Augmented Reality, eXtended Reality
  • Data Visualization
  • Multimedia Systems & Media Technology
  • Ambient Intelligence
  • Databases and Multimedia Asset Management
  • Media Business & Management

One of Artur’s passions is teaching, and his vision is to “engage and fascinate students, and provide the very best service for students”. He hopes to also offer good advice for their future pathways, which might help them in the future, especially if they want to join the academic community. He is currently establishing the Visualisation Technologies MSc./BSc. course at Curtin University in Australia. He has also been teaching and helping the University of Cape Coast, Ghana, with the Association of Academics without Borders Canada (AAWBC) within their PhD teaching curriculum building. He previously established the Digital Media Management major study program at the Tampere University of Technology in Finland. His previous courses at universities are crossovers between the fields of humanities, technology, and business: business/management/IS in media industries, ubiquitous and pervasive computation, digital games, intelligent/smart media, computer graphics/VR/AR, digital television, mass media, and mass communication. Currently he is supervising four PhD theses, and since 2000 he has supervised/examined 6+ PhD thesis, 26+ MSc theses, 7+ BSc theses, and 40+ student projects.

Research Interests

The cornerstones of Artur’s research are:

  1. cross-disciplinarily  – the way the dialogue between humanities, technology, science, and business leads to novel inventions and discoveries tagged with potential business models
  2. non-focusing – focusing in research is “like closing one’s eyes and wondering where the light is – opening the eyes makes one see the possibilities and solutions around us, discover, remain flexible, and see solutions we would not have otherwise seen” 
  3. creative cybernetic thinking – cybernetic thinking, and committing to not giving up, is one of the drivers that pushes the state of the art  forward – contextual and cybernetic thinking particularly encourages the emergence of new things  
  4. developing theory and context – thinking about the big picture, the larger context, and contributing to larger theories by integrating experimental data, and using critical thinking around existing theories.

Following these four cornerstones, Artur’s research focus is not focused , and is situated somewhere between art and science. He is known for finding solutions for the unthinkable and having visionary ideas which have never been thought of. His work touches the fields of media technology, media management, and media content creation. Artur has investigated digital interactive TV, ambient media (aka ubiquitous/pervasive media), digital motion picture production, information systems in the media industry, new business models in times of a transforming media industry, and the phenomenon of convergence, and he is now exploring visualisation technology.
