The main purpose of this page is to present some of the projects from my academic and professional life. My areas of interest are tangible interfaces, collaborative product development and interactive ambient devices. It is really interesting to see the paradigm shift in technology where it becomes virtually invisible in our lives. It is now ubiquitous. Another topic that intrigues me is cross-cultural interfaces. I realized how an aspect of society affects another seemingly unconnected aspect and was so excited to see how the user preferences can be decoded based on a certain set of cultural heuristics.
I am someone who cannot work without music, be it rock, jazz, classical, folklore or opera. I am kinda athletic person who loves to travel to different places and experience different cultures.I like to play all kinds of sport and also interested in other adventurous activities like mountaineering.
Hope you enjoy your stay here!
