Jyri Huopaniemi is Director and head of Nokia Research Center Tampere laboratory. He has over 12 years of experience in leading research and development teams and large organizations. He joined Nokia in 1998 and has held several research leadership positions in the fields of multimedia technology, mobile applications and user interfaces and interaction. In his current role, he is leading NRC’s Tampere Laboratory that carries out strategic and long-term research on new user interfaces, rich context modeling and high performance mobile platforms. The laboratory research topics include human practices and design, contextual media technologies, personal content and media, immersive communication, mixed reality, interaction and user interfaces, context computing and future device platforms. 

Dr. Huopaniemi received his doctoral degree from Helsinki University of Technology in 1999. He worked as a research scientist and group manager at the Laboratory of Acoustics and Audio Signal Processing of Helsinki University of Technology from 1993 until 1997. During 1998 he was a visiting scholar at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University. Since 1998 he has been with Nokia Research Center in Helsinki, Finland. Prior to his current role at Nokia, he was head of the Media Laboratory and Head of Strategic Research at Nokia Research Center, responsible for strategic research in multimedia, applications, services and software platforms. He was appointed Docent (Adjunct Professor) of Audio Technology and Software at Helsinki University of Technology in 2003, and continues to lecture on courses related to multimedia signal processing and software.
