Hello and welcome to my web-space. I am Chandan Sharma and on this site you can find more on who I am, my background, my education and also see some of my professional and academic works. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy your stay here.
Recently I have completed my Masters in Human Computer Interaction (MS-HCI) from Georgia Institute of Technology.
Prior to that I have done my Bachelors in Design from Department of Design at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati with majors in Industrial Design (2002-2006) and minors in Communication Design.
Last summer ('08) I did my internship in the New Business Innovations group (Corporate Development) at Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose. I had a wonderful experience of being a part of a team taking the adobe user experience to new levels.

Previous to joining Georgia Tech, I gained invaluable work experience as a User Experience Designer in User Experience Group of Capgemini (formerly Kanbay) India Pvt. Ltd.(2006-2007).
My background is in Design being specific in Interaction Design.. Through several projects over the course of my academic studies, internships and work experience, I gained a sound understanding of design, computer science, user-centered systems methodology & usability. My experience so far has not only given me the opportunity to sharpen my creative skills but has also given me a strong analytical and technical grounding. Some of the areas of interest I am pursuing (or have pursued in the past) are:
- HCI
- Interaction for Small Screen (Mobile/Handheld) Devices
- Usability Evaluation
- Information System Design
