The Mobile X Laboratory is directed by Professor Xia Zhou at Columbia University. Our research topics lie broadly in mobile computing. We currently focus on developing next-generation communication and sensing systems using light and fabrics, and examining their applications in health, robotics, HCI, and security. Lab members include PhD and Master students, undergraduate researchers, and visiting scholars. We are part of the Columbia HCI group. We used to be part of the DartNets lab at Dartmouth.
We are actively looking for motivated students to join our lab. If you are interested in mobile computing research, please email us your CV.
