Tanzeem Choudhury

Associate Professor

Information Science, Cornell University

I direct the People-Aware Computing group, which works on developing machine learning techniques for systems that can reason about human activities, interactions, and social networks in everyday environments.

I received my Ph.D. degree from the Media Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). As part of my doctoral work, I created the sociometer and conducted the first experiment that uses mobile sensors to model social networks, which led to a new field of research referred to as Reality Mining. I hold a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Rochester, and M.S. from the MIT Media Laboratory.
