I am a social scientist and designer in the Visual Computing and User Interfaces (VCUI) and Innovate, Design, Experience, Animate (IDEA) teams at Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto. I study and create mobile interactions, persuasive technology, and social services. A current focus is how mobile phones can be used to change people's attitudes and behaviors. Within this area - called mobile persuasion - my recent and current work is focused on context-aware mobile media sharing, self-disclosure via mobile phones, participation in online communities, and mobile augmented reality.
Before joining Nokia, I co-directed mobile research projects at the Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab and worked at Yahoo! Research Berkeley on ZoneTag and Zurfer. I have M.S. & B.S. degrees in Symbolic Systems from Stanford, and a B.A. in Philosophy, also from Stanford. My M.S. thesis reported on research in mobile persuasive technology and self-disclosure behavior.
I use my blog, Ready-to-hand, to share new ideas and report on research in an immediate and less formal way than scholarly publications.
