Author: Shahram Izadi
I'm a research scientist at Microsoft Research, UK. My research focuses on creating novel technologies that push the boundaries of how we interact with computers. In recent years my work has focused primarily on making computers more natural to use through the development of new touch-based computers and devices. My research is very applied, meaning I like to build and play with diverse interactive technologies, all in the name of science.
