I am an experimental computer scientist working on mobile ubiquitous computing. At Dartmouth, I lead the smartphone sensing group.
My research is currently focused on turning the everyday smart phone into a congnitive phone by pushing intelligence to the
phone and the computing cloud to make inferences about people's behavior, surroundings and their life patterns. I am
interested in using the mobile phone to sense, inform and persuade people, for example, about their health and well-being.
Before
joining Dartmouth computer science, I was a tenured
associated
professor of electrical engineering at Columbia
University (1996-2005).
Prior to that I spent ten years in the software industry working on the
development of operating
systems and wireless networks. See my google scholar profile for publications and h-index.
I
live in Norwich, Vermont with my wife, Susan Zak, and our sons, Miles and
Will.
