Networking in the Light
Mobile computing is accelerating beyond the smartphone era. The advent of new wearables and health sensors is placing significant new demands on the already limited radio spectrum. To stave off the radio spectrum crunch, there is a need for a radically different thinking. In this talk, I will discuss the potential of using the visible light around us to mitigate the radio spectrum crunch, and our vision of the next-generation smart spaces powered by visible light communication.

StudentLife App: A term in the life of a Dartmouth Class
Why do some students do better than others? Under similar conditions, why do some individuals excel while others fail? Why do students burn out, drop classes, even drop out of college? What is the impact of stress, mood, workload, sociability, sleep and mental health on academic performance (i.e., GPA)? The StudentLife study used an android app we developed for smartphones carried by 48 students over a 10 week term to find answers to some of these pressing questions.
