Start your day with a refreshing breakfast conversation with Prof. Yvonne Rogers.

Join us for an informal breakfast exchange with Prof. Yvonne Rogers from University College London (UCL). Prof. Rogers is a pioneer in the field of human-computer interaction, Director of the UCL Interaction Centre, and Deputy Head of the Department of Computer Science at UCL. Her work focuses on designing and evaluating innovative user interfaces, with a special emphasis on the aspects of computing that we experience directly as users. She is also considered a trailblazer in the field of ubiquitous computing.

Prof. Rogers develops interactive technologies aimed at making everyday life easier – and possibly even better – by enhancing daily activities, learning, and work. In 2023, the University of St. Gallen awarded her an honorary doctorate in computer science in recognition of her outstanding achievements and contributions to the field of human-computer interaction.

On March 25 & 26, 2025, Prof. Yvonne Rogers will be a Personality in Residence at the University of St. Gallen at SQUARE. The breakfast offers you the opportunity to engage with her in a relaxed atmosphere, benefit from her expertise, and discuss ideas on topics of your choice.
