Specific Research Interests
Biographical Sketch Hamid Aghajan is an associate professor of Electrical Engineering (consulting) at Stanford University, where he supervises the Wireless Sensor Networks Laboratory. Hamid's research is focused on distributed vision networks. Prior to coming to Stanford in 2003, Hamid had 9 years of technical and managerial positions in high-technology companies leading product development in image processing, wireless communications, and semiconductor manufacturing systems. During his industrial experience, Hamid was a co-founder and vice president of a start-up company developing optical filters for fiber telecommunications. He has also served on the Board of Advisors of high technology companies active in various wireless networks and vision applications. Recent work in Hamid's research group consists of vision-based algorithms for assisted living, occupancy sensing for ambience control in smart buildings, human gesture analysis for gaming, virtual reality, and smart displays, and interactivity-based environment discovery - all based on distributed vision processing in multi-camera networks. He has organized and taught new courses on wireless sensor networks (EE392w) and vision sensor networks (EE392y) at Stanford. Hamid has been co-organizer and technical co-chair of the first International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras (ICDSC 2007), and general co-chair of ICDSC 2008, editorial board member of the book series on Artificial Intelligence and Smart Environments by IOS Press, associate editor of Machine Vision and Applications, organizer of short courses on Distributed Vision Processing in Smart Camera Networks at CVPR 2007, CVPR 2008, and ACIVS 2007, guest editor of the IEEE J-STSP special issue on Distributed Processing in Vision Networks, organizer of a special session on Distributed Processing in Image Sensor Networks at ICASSP 2007, co-chair of the Behaviour Monitoring and Interpretation (BMI) workshop at German AI Conference 2008, special session chair of Vision-based Reasoning at AITAmI workshop at ECAI 2008, workshop co-chair of Multi-camera and Multi-modal Sensor Fusion Algorithms and Applications at ECCV 2008, special session chair of Multi-Sensor HCI for Smart Environments at Face and Gesture Conference 2008, and workshop co-chair of Vision Networks for Behaviour Analysis (VNBA) at ACM Multimedia 2008. He has published numerous journal and conference papers and holds 5 US patents. Hamid obtained his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1995.
