Mark Smith: Biography

New IT devices and the systems they are used in is something I've been researching, building and writing about for a long time.  Before coming to the KTH I was on the research staff of Hewlett Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, California in the USA. While there I worked on very challenging and fun technology projects, and got a very good idea of how the combination of technology research, and business practice result in new products and opportunities.  Just before coming to the KTH I spent 3 semesters as a visiting faculty member at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia USA. Like the KTH, this is a world class university focused on basic and applied research, and are interested in how their research results can be turned into applications, products and businesses.
