SENSEable City LaboratoryAttn. Prof. Carlo Ratti

MIT Massachussetts Institute of Technology

Application as a fellow researcher (especially usability), Master student of System

Dynamics WPI Worcester

Dear Prof. Ratti,

Since our phone conference on co-operating with the local transit authority,DVB AG, lastsummer my interest in doing research at MIT SENSEable City Lab has grown. My personal visitto the lab and your colleagues in August 2009 when I was visiting Edgar Schein for a workshopon Cape Cod has set the final hook.

My recent tweet on the InternetOfThinking and the future use of sensors has just a fewminutes ago inspired me to directly apply as a fellow researcher. Especially my studies in

system dynamics at WPI Worcester is driving my action doing so. Combining the research onsensor use in an accelerating and ever changing world with action research on how tosustainably fullfill the shift is my intention for my future master thesis is on my mind.

Earliest start for me will be mid to end June, as I participate with a session on TechnologicalSingularity in daily life during an Open Space at the 4. Dresden Future Forum where RayKurzweil and Tim Berners-Lee will be also present and keynote speakers.

I am very pleased to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Ralf Lippold
