Nokia Research Center

I joined Nokia Research Center in 1999. My background is in computing science and applied mathematics. Over the years I have been involved in various projects in the field of Human-Computer Interaction, including (but not limited to): spoken dialogue systems (both embedded and network-based), multimodal user interfaces for hand-held devices including visual, audio and haptics modalities in various configurations, mobile multi-player pervasive games, non-verbal remote collaboration, mobile augmented reality. My special interest is in the area of negotiated interaction which could provide an alternative means of allowing users to interact with content and services in their environment such that the actions they make, movements, gestures, etc., and feedback they receive are continuous, with the user and system negotiating their interactions in a fluid, dynamic way. This would bring the HCI to a different level, beyond the current command & control metaphor. My current research focuses on information-theoretic methods for quantifying human-computer interaction.
