Dr. Paulo Barthelmess is a research scientist working with Collaboration Technology. His research interests are in human-centered multimodal systems, exploring intelligent interfaces to facilitate the work of co-located or distributed groups of people. His current focus is on supporting collaborative document-centered work using digital paper. Paulo holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
