Holleczek, Thomas

I joined the MIT SENSEable City Lab as a postdoctoral associate in August 2012. Please contact me at thomas@smart.mit.edu.

About

Thomas studied computer science at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, where he focussed on communication systems and computer networks. In October 2008, he started to pursue a PhD in the Wearable Group at the Electronics Laboratory. Thomas' research interests include ubiquitous computing and its many facets such as wearable sensors, activity recognition, machine learning and traffic models, and human-computer interaction.
