I lead the Internet of Things Research Activity at Bell Laboratories
and working within the field of Pervasive Computing Distributed Systems, and Data Analytics. My team at Antwerp, and Dublin is primarily exploring how wireless network can be used as a platform to model human behavior and to design future connected services.
The team borrows tenets from Social Psychology, learns from Behavioral Economics and applies Computer Science methods to design human centered applications in three areas: Enterprise, Urban City and Lifestyle.
Personally, I am interested in exploring human-centered approaches to build software systems that substantially improve user experience. My methodological stance is at the intersection of Human Computer Interaction and System and Network Technologies. Some of the keywords of my research include: Internet of Things, Behavior Modeling, Physical Analytics, Distributed Middleware, and Smart Objects I have a PhD in Computer Science from Waseda University
, Japan and have worked before at Lancaster University
, UK and at Nokia Research Center
