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
What's new:
Named one of MIT Technology Review's TR 35 for 2008: Top 35 innovators under the age of 35.
Ashish Kapoor, Henry Kautz, and I are co-organizing the AAAI Spring 2009 Symposium on Human Behavior Modeling.
I am also the program co-chair (along with Aaron Quigley) of LoCA 2009 (4th International Symposium on Location and Context-Awareness
