Edison Thomaz

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, where I direct the Human Signals lab. I hold a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from UT Austin, a master's from the MIT Media Lab and a Ph.D. in Human-Centered Computing from Georgia Tech. I am a member of DICE, WNCG, and I am currently an Associate Editor of IMWUT. I also co-lead the Life Sensing Consortium.

My research focuses on the computational perception of human signals (e.g., behavioral, emotional, physiological) while leveraging ubiquitous and wearable sensing. A core area of interest is studying systems and methods for recognizing and modeling the entire span of people's everyday activities and context. This work is at the intersection of ubiquitous computing, hci, human-centered machine learning, and signal processing. I am particularly motivated by applications in the domain of health and personalized medicine such as building health models and tools that can characterize and forecast states of health and disease from sensor data.
