Industry partners
I have recently collaborating with two industry partners: Sustainalytics, the leading independent global provider of ESG and corporate governance research and ratings to investors. (NSERC Engage project); and S4N, an innovative Colombia-based software company with an amazing team!
Previously, I collaborated in European Framework projects with SMEs such as KEEP Solutions and industrial research groups at Microsoft Research Cambridge and the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering, and I supervised the team of students who founded mysugr.com – one of the groundbreaking and most highly valued startups in the mobile diabetes app universe.
I have also long collaborated with national archives in Europe and national as well as academic libraries in Europe and North America, and with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in the BenchmarkDP project.
Academic Collaborators
It’s hard to keep this perfectly updated.
I am always looking out for synergies, especially across disciplines (see our workshop at PDC 2020 for an example). As co-founder of TechOtherwise, I am very interested in what I call critical friendships across fields and perspectives.
Some recent collaborators: Dr. Fabian Fagerholm, Aalto University, Finland, Prof. Rahul Mohanani, IIIT Delhi, India, Prof. Alexander Chatzigeorgiou, University of Macedonia, Greece. As co-founder of the Karlskrona Manifesto for Sustainability Design, I am blessed with a fabulous group of collaborators in Europe and North America.
I am a collaborator on https://capacity-capacite.ca/, a CIHR-funded implementation science project focused on active transport interventions.
