I've moved! In March 2011 I joined Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing China. I am a member of the
Mobile and Sensing System group (MASS) directed by
Feng Zhao.
What's new
Nicholas D. Lane, Ye Xu , Hong Lu , Shaohan Hu, Tanzeem Choudhury, Andrew T. Campbell and Feng Zhao, "Enabling Large-scale Human Activity Inference on Smartphones using Community Similarity Networks (CSN)", 13th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp 2011), (Beijing, China), Sept. 2011.
Interests
Mobile phone based sensing applications and systems. Intersection of machine learning, mobile
systems and computer networking.
Affiliations
I work with some great people as part of: the Mobile Sensing Group,
People-Aware Computing Group,
the MetroSense project, and CenceMe.
My Research
I am a 5th year PhD. student co-advised by Andrew T.
Campbell and Tanzeem
Choudhury at Dartmouth
College.
My research interests revolve around people-centric sensing applications and systems. I am an
experimentalist who
likes to build prototype mobile sensing systems based on well-founded computational models. I have
worked on a
variety of sensing platforms (e.g., mote-class sensors, mobile phones) and have experience not only
in evaluating
network and system performance but have conducted a number of user studies and analyzed sensor data;
for
example, when designing classifiers that recognize forms of human behavior. Results from my research
have been
published in number of conferences including ACM SenSys, ACM MobiSys, ACM UbiComp and Pervasive. I
have
worked on a number of aspects of people-centric sensing systems including: system architecture,
applications (e.g.,
CenceMe), localization, calibration, sensor co-ordination and the classifiers of high level
events (e.g., music is
playing) from a wide range of low-level sensor modalities (e.g., audio, location, accelerometer).
