Current Organization and Activities

  • Conduct research in range of SW Eng and Business issues (mainly at crossroads of business, engineering, and social science), that make impact on industry, and also research community
  • Initiate large scale EU and pan-EU (ITEA2, Artemis) projects (take them from conception to success)
  • Provide consultation to MNCs and SMEs on technology and SW directions. Recently,  I have been actively spearheading and advising agile-lean adoption and transformation in companies
  • Develop research-led products (with the help of technical assistants) that hold merits of commercialization and IPR for VTT
  • Strengthen global networking from VTT (have initiated very important links in Europe, USA (U of Berkeley, and MIT) and Asia
