about


Nothing can be and can not be one and at the same time and I am. I am Pranav Mistry.

Currently, I am the director of Think Tank Team and Director of Research of Samsung Research America. Before that I was a Research Assistant and final year PhD candidate at the MIT Media Lab, that one day when I get time, I want to go back and defend, may be ;). In past, I got chance to work with Microsoft, Google, CMU, NASA, UNESCO, Japan Science & Technology to name a few. I received my Master in Media Arts and Sciences from MIT and Master of Design from IIT Bombay. I received my bachelors degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Gujarat University. Oh, I also dropped out of Architecture School prior to that. Palanpur, a small town situated in northern Gujarat in India, is my hometown.

Exposure to fields like Design to Technology and from Art to Psychology gave me a quite nice/interesting viewpoint to the world. I love to see technology from design perspective and vice versa. This vision reflects in almost all of my projects and research work as well. in short, I do what I love and I love what I do. I am a 'Desigineer' :)
