Dina Katabi, "Learning health metrics from radio signals"

Dina Katabi is the Andrew & Erna Viterbi Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, and the Director of the MIT Center for Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing. Professor Katabi is a MacArthur Fellow and a Member of the National Academy of Engineering. She received her PhD and MS degrees from MIT in 2003 and 1999, and her Bachelor of Science from Damascus University in 1995. Her research interests span wireless and mobile systems, health IoT, and applied machine learning. She develops new technologies, algorithms, and systems that provide non-invasive health monitoring, enable smart homes, improve WiFi and cellular performance, and deliver new applications that are not feasible given today's technologies. She has received multiple prestigious awards including the ACM Prize in Computing, the ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award, two SIGCOMM Test of Time Awards, a Sloan Fellowship, the IEEE William R. Bennett prize, and multiple best paper awards. Several start-ups have been spun out of Katabi's lab.
