Manuel Lima is a Senior UX Design Lead at Microsoft Bing and founder of VisualComplexity.com – A visual exploration on mapping complex networks.
In what capacity do you think you could contribute to Fellowship/Society?
Judge/Panel on various events/contests/conferences. Consultant in the areas of new media, data visualization, design and technology.
What would you change in society given the chance?
Would like to reinforce a much-needed network way of thinking, relevant to most areas we can think of, such as urban planning, social networks, and biological ecosystems. Everything is interconnected and interdependent, and it’s primarily through a better mapping and decoding of given areas, like ecology, that we will reach a high level of understanding.
What recent bit of news have you heard which inspires you?
The capability of more affordable, and portable 3D printing, with numerous applications in technology, medicine, and manufacturing.
What did you learn last week?
I learned how good is the asparagus season in most restaurants in Germany.
Tell us about another interesting Fellow you have spoken to.
I briefly spoke to a few after my talk at RSA in December last year.
What would you like to connect with Fellows about?
On topics that can unify both sides of the pond in the shared goal/aspiration. What role can the RSA have in the recent wave of startup initiatives? What responsibility do we have to young entrepreneurs? Can RSA provide a beaming light, similar to its role in the enlightenment, on the recent economical downturn?
May we publish your email address so other Fellows can reach you?
Sure, here it is: [email protected]
