Meet our researchers - Greg Cuellar and Eric Grant
We'll feature some of our researchers on the blog every once in a while. Feel free to get in touch with them if you have any specific questions!
Greg CuellarGreg started working in the lab this past summer. A senior in Computer Science, he quickly saw that his passion lay in the interaction design work he was doing. He has since decided to stay on an extra year and work towards a master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction. His work in the lab is primarily in a project that revolves around mobile persuasion -- leveraging the unique qualities of mobile devices to persuade their owners. When presenting his project at a technology conference in the fall, he caught the eye of Larry Page, co-founder of Google. One of Larry's co-workers invited him in for an interview, and Greg has since accepted an offer to work in Google's mobile group.
Eric Grant

Eric spent five years in technology, learning, and management consulting before earning his Masters in Learning, Design, and Technology at Stanford. There, he studied the confluence of education, emerging technologies, and interaction design. His areas of interest include cross-cultural and globalization issues, ubiquitous computing, and information architecture.
Eric's interest in computers as educational tools brought him to the lab, where he collaborates with researchers and educators around the world to author curricula on persuasive technologies. He currently consults for Stanford and a variety of other organizations on intelligent spaces for learning and work, interaction design, and foresight strategy.
