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.
