in investigating the ways in which the research in
"Intelligent Environments" can stimulate the human intelligence
to unleash one's own creative potential and skills. In particular,
he is interested in creative interactions and exploring how the
recent advances in computing and audio, ubiquitous computing, vision, machine learning and mobile technology can provide the basic
bricks and blocks for building the new “sound machines” of our
everyday life.
