PhD Thesis
I'm studying how people communicate via multiple mobile apps, and how we can design for app ecosystems rather than for individual, isolated apps. I'm mostly interested in how close relationships (e.g. couples, best friends) adopt and adapt their communication apps in very personal ways, and in how we can design better tools to support such special relationships. I envision a new model for computer-mediated communication where communication tools belong to people instead of each individual app.
Background and Interests
I have a background in information systems engineering, human-computer interaction and entrepreneurship. For more details you can check my CV or my linked-in profile.
Besides computer-mediated communication, my broader research interests include human-computer partnerships, gestural interaction, customization of user interfaces and instrumental interaction.
These are some of the projects I've been working on:
