Agathe Battestini

Background

I am part of the User Interfaces Group at the Nokia Research Center in Palo Alto, USA. I was previously working for Nokia Research Center in Helsinki, Finland, which I originally joined in June, 2004.

I graduated Masters degrees in Computer Science from University of Technology of Compiègne, France (2001) and Georgia Tech, USA (2003).

My primary research interests are context awareness and mobile user data. I explore mobile applications that generate and adapt to context data, and how they can be integrated into novel web-based services and bridge the mobile device and the web. As part of the Semantic Graphics project I explore how different sources of heterogeneous information can be mixed and composed into compelling interactive visualizations.
