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.  My CV is also here on line.
