Andorra Living Lab. Turning the entire country of Andorra into a Living Lab. I was a researcher in the project,involved in data access negotiations with multiple stakeholders.

The Copenhagen Networks Study. Collecting high-resolution personal data off mobile phones of 1 000 students. Iwas a lead architect and a researcher in the project.

OpenPDS. Creating a platform for privacy-preserving personal data handling. I was an architect and a researcherin the project.

FunF. Turning smartphones into powerful sensing devices for studying social physics. I was a maintainer anddeveloper on the project.

Data Transparency Lab. Joint initiative of Open Data Institute, MIT Media Lab, Mozilla, and Telefonica to to advanceonline personal data privacy through scientific research and design. I was an MIT representative and researcher inthe project.

The Smartphone Brain Scanner. Developing a low-cost mobile brain scanner (EEG). I was a lead architect and aresearcher in the project.

The Bhutan Epilepsy Project. Developing an EEG Smartphone to Diagnose Seizure Disorders in Bhutan. I was alead architect and researcher in the project.
