Shibo Zhang

I am a research scientist at HP Labs. I have a PhD degree in computer science from Northwestern University. Before I joined HP, I worked at Northwestern University HABits Lab with a focus on machine learning and human activity recognition. I published and won awards at top ubiquitous and pervasive computing venues.
