About my research interesets

I am a researcher interested in the interaction between humans and technology. I classify my interests in three categories: Individual-Technology, Social and Business Impact. By Individual-Technology I mean how individuals perform their every day tasks using technology, the way technology changes that interaction, and how technology can be designed to aid in such tasks. By social I understand the role of society and its government to adopt and foster new technologies. In business impact I include my interests in how industries can develop for innovation and the strategies needed from the private sector to invest in technology.

Currently, my main research project is about understanding the User Experience in the context of video-games. I am pursuing this at University College London under the supervision of Dr. Paul Cairns and Dr. Anna L. Cox.

At the London Business School I have worked in understanding how technology and business relate together. In particular, what makes a technology "attractive" to the business people so that they would invest in it.

I have also explored the role of governments in establishing policies to foster technological development in a third world country. In particular, I participated in a project at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy & MIT to propose a framework to develop the infrastructure needed in Ghana.

In the past, I worked on the modelling of new interaction techniques. I have also worked on CAD for VLSI, Computer Vision and Usability Evaluations.
