Research

09/2005 - Present: Dartmouth College, Dept. of Computer Science, Hanover, NH

Graduate Research Assistant - Designing, developing and testing wireless sensor networks systems under the supervision of Prof. Andrew T. Campbell.

     - CenceMe

       Currently developing and evolving CenceMe, the first application that integrates sensing and social networking. By using sensors (e.g., accelerometer, microphone, GPS, and compass if available) of-the-shelf devices such as mobile phones and machine learning techniques applied to the sensor data, CenceMe determines the activity and social context of a person and export this information on Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. A prototype of CenceMe has been built for Symbian S60 phones and is currently available for Apple iPhone on the App Store.

- MetroSense Project

      MetroSense is an architecture to support people-centric urban sensing at scale. We designed the architecture to exploit resources asymmetry and symbiotically operate with existing networks infrastructures. Part of the architecture is the opportunistic sensor networking model which exploits the uncontrolled mobility of people and vehicles to efficiently support sensing and communications in large scale urban settings. We are currently building the MetroSense infrastructure in the Dartmouth College Campus and it is already operational in the Computer Science building.
