I lead the Smash Lab (Smart Sensing for Humans Lab) at CMU. Our group focuses on designing, implementing, and testing new sensing systems for immediate, high-impact problems in various domains, including health sensing, technologies for developing world, activity recognition, and novel interactions. Many times solutions in these domains need to be used and evaluated by the end user in their daily lives. Therefore, we collaborate closely with medical professionals, bio-engineers, and designers to develop end-to-end solutions that can be immediately used and evaluated outside the lab environment. We often rely on adding new capabilities to existing sensors and devices. This approach allows us to add various functionalities to our daily-use devices without making any hardware modifications. This work requires expertise in mobile computing, sensing, signal processing, and machine learning. We actively publish in conference venues of three computer science disciplines:

HCI

Human-Computer
Interaction

UbiComp

Ubiquitous
Computing

ICTD

Information and Communication Technology for Development
