Gabe Cohn

I am a Ph.D. student and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow in Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington. I work in the interdisciplinary Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp) Lab and am advised by Shwetak N. Patel, who is a joint faculty member in both CSE and EE. I work in both the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science & Engineering departments, and am a member of dub, an interdisciplinary group at UW that focuses on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Through my research, I collaborate with Brian Otis in UWEE, Beverly Harrison at Intel Research Seattle, and Desney Tan at Microsoft Research Redmond.

I am particularly interested in embedded systems and VLSI in ubiquitous computing applications; however, my research interests are broad and include Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp), Embedded Systems, Circuit Design, VLSI, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Infrastructure-Mediated Sensing (IMS), and User Interface Software and Technology.

Before beginning my graduate studies at the University of Washington, I received my B.S. with Honors in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 2009. At Caltech, I conducted research in RF and microwave antenna design and modeling, networking, and detecting election fraud. In addition, I conducted summer research at the University of Washington in antenna design and modeling and signal processing.
