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 cognitive 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.
