My research interests intersect the systems and data science domains, focusing on effective and efficient ways to collect and analyze sensor data at scale. At FIU, I lead the MOSAIC (MObile Sensing and AnalytICs) Lab, where we build, deploy, and investigate sensing and analysis challenges in areas such as healthcare, the Internet-of-Things, smart cities, wireless communications, and transportation. Some specific research questions being investigated in our lab include: how to efficiently and effectively utilize the rich sensing capabilities of commercial mobile and wearable devices, how to fuse different sensing modalities and perform multi-sensor time-series data analysis for a variety of applications, how to build context-aware sensing systems, how to perform sensor analysis on resource-constrained devices in real time, and how to translate the insights obtained from the sensor data into new applications or interventions.

I am currently a professor in the Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences at Florida International University. Prior to joining FIU, I was a professor at the University of Notre Dame, where I led the Mobile Computing Lab (M-Lab) and served as Associate Director of the Lucy Family Institute for Data and Society and Founding Director of the Applied Analytics and Emerging Technologies Lab (AeTL). I have strong interest in economic, startup, and other commercialization efforts and I am also a strong advocate of early inclusion of undergraduate and high school students in research projects, many of whom have decided to pursue graduate school or form/join startup businesses.
