Researcher, Accenture Technology Labs
Interests: My research focuses on ubiquitous commerce, situated computing, and computer augmentation to human intelligence. More specifically, I'm keen on exploring means for bridging the gap between the physical world and the virtual world, and on inventing new ways for bridging the gaps between people's intention, commitment, and action. My passion lies in creating new ways of doing things through technology rather than in devising incremental solutions.
