Current Research
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) create tremendous opportunities to empower individuals, support sustainable communities, and foster more inclusive and livable societies. Work with people in private, public, and non-profit organizations in the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia has convinced me that harnessing these potential benefits will require public interest technology, good governance models, as well as competition and cooperation. Ongoing research focuses on innovation in the next-generation Internet (Internet of Things, 5G wireless, advanced mobility), digital entrepreneurship (both for-profit and social), and governance challenges, such as mitigating digital inequalities. Projects have been funded by government agencies, private foundations, and private corporations. My work greatly has greatly benefited from collaboration with practitioners and students.
