Background
I am a Senior Researcher on the Pervasive Computing Team at Nokia Research Center, Cambridge MA, USA. My research involves smart spaces, artificial intelligence, and local interactions from mobile computers. Prior to Nokia I led the design and development of high speed streaming-analysis engines at Verilytics Inc. I developed expert systems and knowledge visualization tools at System Soft Inc. I am a veteran of Digital Equipment Corporation's Artificial Intelligence Technology Center where I worked for eight years on a wide variety of applied artificial intelligence projects. My degree is in Computer Science from Northeastern University, Boston.
