Profile

I am a third year PhD student in the Network and Operating Systems group at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge. My supervisor is Dr. Cecilia Mascolo and I am working on energy efficiency aspects of mobile phone based sensing systems. I am a Gates Cambridge Scholar and a member of St. John's College.

 

Research Interests

  • Mobile phone based sensing systems
  • Mobile phone based platforms for conducting social psychology research
  • Energy efficiency of continuous sensing systems
  • Query processing in wireless sensor networks
