I'm a Senior Research Scientist and a Team Manager at Apple's Sensing Technologies Research group. Before joining Apple I was a PhD student in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University where I still serve as an Affiliate Faculty. My research interests are in sensing, activity recognition, wearable computing, mobile health and human-computer interaction. In the past few years I've worked on sign language recognition, silent speech recognition, and automatic diet monitoring. I was advised by Professor Mayank Goel, and during my master's degree at Georgia Tech I was advised by Professor Thad Starner and Professor Gregory Abowd. I received the Google, Qualcomm, KAAYIA, and the CMU Presidential fellowships as recognition for my research work.
