Amnon Dekel

I am interested in the meeting point between the physical world, the physicality of "stuff" and information services that are available over digital networks. In this context, the mobile phone has become the ubiquitous computing platform, and through it opportunities abound for the creation of next generation products and experiences. My applied research explores the relationship between mobile user experiences and cloud based services, all mediated though state of the art operating systems like iPhone and Android, as well as MCU based embedded computing in everyday objects. Additional issues that I explore pertain to the consequences of divided attention and multimodal input. Specialties: I have a rare mixture of a PhD in Computer Science, an MPS in Interactive Telecommunications, an MA in Cognitive Psychology, expertise in Human-computer Interaction, experience in Embedded computing, Visual Design, Product Management and Air Traffic Control- all culminating in a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship for next generation products and services.
