My main research area concerns the study of creativity in domains such as design, marketing, engineering, cuisine, architecture and software design. Using video recordings of creative teams at work I study the underlying cognitive processes and mechanisms of creative work. Furthermore, I utilize experimental research and quasi-experimental research methods to study both the generation and selection of creative ideas. I also study what forms of technology that may be brought into play for support of creative processes. Finally, I study the evaluation of creativity; how to select the right ideas for progression at gates in innovation processes; how is creative evaluation handled in various domains; how do consumers or users come to perceive a product as creative or innovative.
