Research Interests

My research focuses on the computational perception of human signals (e.g., behavioral, emotional, physiological) while leveraging ubiquitous and wearable sensing. A core area of interest is studying systems and methods for recognizing and modeling the entire span of people's everyday activities and context. This work is at the intersection of ubiquitous computing, hci, human-centered machine learning, and signal processing. I am particularly motivated by applications in the domain of health and personalized medicine such as building health models and tools that can characterize and forecast states of health and disease from sensor data.
