I'm someone who likes to see a connection between technology, science, nature, and a good life for all of us on this planet.
10+ years in mobile R&D, an entrepreneurial mind with keen interest in long-term research, multimodal UI design, human-computer relations, augmented and virtual reality, nanosciences including wide use of nanotechnology, biomaterials, ubiquitous computing, cleantech, renewable energy sources etc. This topped with a humanist approach, strong values in equal opportunities between those who have and those who have not.
