impact by designing, evaluating and refining my work with real-world customers,
and then transitioning it into the marketplace. Engagement outside of the academic community has thus been a cornerstone
of my work:
| Evaluations | I have been very active in terms of evaluating my work with real-world problems and institutions, such as the Italian Democratic Party (electoral law reform), Intel (mobile device policy in fab plants), and the Federal Bureau of Land Management (water use in the southern US).
|
| Commercialization | The Deliberatorium technology suite is now being commercialized by HiveWise Inc, where I serve as Chief Scientist.
|
| Advisory Boards | I serve on the advisory boards of startups in the online democracy space, where my work has been influential in
terms of setting their strategic directions.
|
| International Outreach | I have been very active in outreach to the international research community. I have taken visiting
research positions in Spain, Canada, Brazil, Japan, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Italy and Switzerland, and have hosted scholars
from Europe, Asia, Canada and South America in my lab at MIT.
|
| Dissemination | I have given scores of tutorials and lectures at conferences, universities, businesses and other institutions throughout the world.
