I work on
developing machine learning techniques for systems that can reason
about human activities, interactions, and social networks in everyday
environments. I joined the computer
science department of Dartmouth in 2008. Prior to that I was
a member of the research staff at Intel Research
Seattle.
I received my Ph.D. degree from the Media Laboratory
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I created the
sociometer and my thesis was
the first to show the feasibility of automatically capturing and
modeling social networks based on face-to-face conversations that occur
in the physical world. I also hold a B.S. in electrical engineering
from the University
of Rochester, and M.S. from the MIT Media Laboratory.
