Matthai Philipose builds sensor-based systems that allow computers to understand and act on human state. He co-leads the Everyday Sensing and Perception (ESP) project at Intel Research, which has the goal of understanding 90% of a person's life at 90% accuracy using mobile sensing. He has a strong subsidiary interest in applying such systems to the long-term care of the elderly. To this end, he has collaborated with Intel product groups, universities and government organizations to build and field-test novel telecare systems. Matthai has a Ph.D. from the University of Washington and a B.S. from Cornell University.
