Morten Fjeld is a professor of Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Bergen (Norway) and Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden). His research activities are situated in the field of Human-Computer Interaction with a focus on tangible and tabletop user computing. In 2005, he founded the t2i Interaction Lab at Chalmers, Sweden. He holds a dual MSc degree in applied mathematics from NTNU (Trondheim, Norway) and ENSIMAG (Grenoble, France), and a PhD from ETH (Zurich, Switzerland). In 2002, Morten Fjeld received the ETH Medal for his PhD titled "Designing for Tangible Interaction". In 2011, he was a visiting professor at NUS Singapore, in 2016 and 2017 at Tohoku University, Japan, and in 2019 to 2020 at ETH Zurich. Morten Fjeld also has extensive industrial experience in the areas of fluid mechanics, simulators, and user interface design. 

During the last 10 years, he has led 12 projects from national funding agents in Norway (RCN), Sweden (VR, VINNOVA, STINT, SSF, Wallenberg; EUREKA), Switzerland (SNSF, Innosuisse), Singapore (MD/MCI, NUS), and Japan (JST, JSPS). He has also secured Horizon 2020 funding for three Marie Skłodowska Curie Action grants (agreement nos. 290227, 676063, and 764902). Within current research projects, Fjeld is a cluster leader in the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) program, where he spearheads the area “Interaction and Communication with Sensor-Rich Autonomous Agent”.

In 2007, Fjeld initiated the renowned ACM conference series on Interactive Surfaces and Spaces (ISS). ISS was originally sponsored by IEEE and called at that time TableTop. In 2017, he was general chair for ACM VRST, which then attracted a record number of participants. He is the leader of the VRST conference steering committee. Both ISS and VRST have drawn significant industrial funding to the research communities of which Fjeld is a member. As a leader in the CHI community, Fjeld has been an Associate Chair (AC) and a Subcommittee Chair (SC) at ACM CHI for several years, indicating strong leadership in the ACM CHI community. He gave an invited demonstration at EUROGRAPHICS 2015 and invited keynotes at ACM NordiCHI 2016 and VRST 2017.
