Introduction - Dileepkumar Guntuku

I am Dileepkumar Guntuku, graduate certificate student of Human Computer Interaction at Iowa State University.  I am an off-campus student. 

I have joined HCI program, when I was working at Iowa State University as a program specialist, to understand the finer nuances of Human Computer Interaction theories. I have resigned my job at ISU in December 2011 and accepted a position at an International Organization in India.  At present I live in India, but I continue my association with Iowa State University as a student and also a collaborator on few International development projects.
 
I have a PhD in Information and Communication Technologies.  I am interested in studying the applications of contemporary Information and Communication Technologies for promoting food security and socio-economic change in developing countries, especially in remote rural regions .  My research interests are development communication, Information and Communication Technologies for Development, Rural Resource Information Systems, Elearning, EGovernance etc.  I look forward to learn diffusion innovation theories and communication technologies for social change from this course.
