NRCPA
NRC Palo Alto is Nokia's newest research facility housing a growing team of researchers intent on taking advantage of the Silicon Valley ecosystem to pursuing a wide range of experimental systems research projects. New perspectives will flourish with the leadership of John Shen, Head of NRCPA.
Research Focus
We are focusing on the theme of 'collaborative experiences and collective intelligence enabled by the emerging ubiquitous wireless Internet'. NRC Palo Alto employs the open innovation model and intends to develop collaborative relationships with universities and industry partners.
Initial Research Projects will include
- Context, Content and Community: focusing on large-scale systems leveraging mobility context, metadata, social networks, and deep personalization to provide dramatic improvements in the relevancy of search, advertising, and recommendation engines. Team Leader: David Racz
- Wireless Grids and Collaborative Services: delving into ubiquitous communication systems which go beyond a value proposition based on pure connectivity to capture value in a world consisting of a large number of diverse, wirelessly-enabled, collaborating devices. Team Leader: Paul James
- Visual Computing and User Interfaces: leveraging the graphics, imaging, and computational capabilities of Nokia multi-media computers to facilitate Mobile Augmented Reality, Computational Photography, and Visually-based User Interfaces. Team Leader: Kari Pulli
- Innovation Radio and Wireless Sensors: experimenting with novel applications and hardware platforms for emerging short range radio technologies. Team Leader: Jiri Kiraly
- Location Based Services (LBS): starting a new research investigation into next generation location-based services, the team will be focusing on the challenge of how to architect a balance between useful services and a strong requirement for privacy and security. Team Leader: Quinn Jacobson
