Marcelo Milrad is an Associate Professor in Computer Science at the school of Mathematics and Systems Engineering, at Vaxjo University (VXU) in Sweden. He is also the director of the Center for Learning and Knowledge Technologies (CeLeKT). His current research interests include the design of learning environments to support learning about complex domains, collaborative discovery learning and the development of mobile and wireless applications to support collaborative learning.

Dr. Milrad has published over 100 articles in international journals, refereed conferences, books and technical reports. He has also been presenting and giving lectures about his work in more than 30 countries worldwide. During the last years he has been serving as a program committee member in a number of international scientific conferences such as CSCL, ICALT, WMTE, IRIS and CELDA. Dr. Milrad is an executive member of the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Learning Technology (LTTC) and one of the initiators of the IEEE international workshop on Wireless and Mobile Technologies in Education (WMTE). He is also one of the steering committee members of the Mobile Learning SIG, a research activity that is part of the of the European Network of Excellence Kaleidoscope.


Prior to entering VXU, Dr. Milrad has been working at the Research Corporation for Media and Communication Technologies, the Institute for Media Technology (IMT), the Center for Human-Computer Studies (CMD) at Uppsala University, Sweden and the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. During the last 15 years, Dr. Milrad has been directly involved in the design and development of multimedia based learning environments both in schools, universities and in industrial settings.
