I am currently a user experience researcher at Google. On this website, you will find information about my job as an academic researcher and as a user experience researcher and designer. You can check out the research section for details about my research projects, including my Ph.D. thesis (in English) and markerClock. You can also visit my publication section to know more about my published research work.

I live in the Seattle area and I am always interested to hear about exciting, innovative projects that need a user-centered perspective. If you want to have a broad overview of my past projects, you can visit my portfolio section describing some of my work in user experience and human computer interaction in general. Finally, you can visit my photography gallery to see some of my work.
