Mikael's research theme is the dialogue between developers and users in large digital communities. In his PhD-work-in-progress and case study on Habbo Hotel, he follows the life-cycle of design visions: how they materialise into features in the hotel, how the users take them into use in their own ways, and how the original design vision is changed through social learning. Mikael has worked in different research projects on user-centred product development since 2000, graduated as a Usability Engineer in 2002 from SoberIT/Usability, and gravitated towards the HIIT research group Digital Content Communities during the Mobile Content Communities project 2003-6.
