Welcome to the home of Prabhas Pokharel.
I hate writing bios, so a few highlights:
- I am interested in the intersection of Techonology (ICTs to be specific--Information and Communication Technologies) and social Development.
- I work at UNICEF Kosovo, and help run an Innovations Lab. I blog about that work at my "Adventures in Innovation" blog. No one has told me the title is obnoxious yet, which surprises me.
- I used to work at this awesome placed called MobileActive.org. I worked mainly on research and writing for the Mobile Media Toolkit there, but also got to hang out with amazing people in the ICTD landscape, and got a really cool "evange-realist" perspective to the field that I will cherish for quite a while. You can see what I wrote while I was at MobileActive.org on this page.
- In what seems now like the way back when, I used to study Computer Science at Harvard University. I liked Data Structures and Algorithms, and Programming Languages a lot, and loved the multidisciplinary peer group I had. I was also lucky to be taught by awesome people like Amy Smith, Esther Duflo, and Chris Csikszentmihalyi at MIT.
