My doctorate in Computer Science focused on assistive technology for persons with cognitive impairments - based on a socio-technical approach to Human-Computer Interaction. I am now working in San Sebastian Spain, at the Tecnalia Foundation. I currently focus on socio-technical systems supporting successful aging in place, with an emphasis on pre-Alzheimer diminished cognitive abilities. My postdoc work was at the BIKA group at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT) in Sankt Augustin, Germany working on several European Commission Projects.
