Aghajan, Hamid

Hamid Aghajanis a professor of Electrical Engineering (consulting) at Stanford University since 2003, where he is the director of the AIR (Ambient Intelligence Research) Lab and Wireless Sensor Networks Lab. 

Areas of research in his group consist of multi-camera networks and human interfaces for smart, vision-based reasoning environments, with application to smart homes, occupancy-based services, assisted living and well being, smart meetings, and avatar-based communication and social interactions. 

Hamid is co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments. He has co-authored 3 edited volumes on: Human-centric Interfaces for Ambient Intelligence, Multi-Camera Networks Ð Principles and Applications, and Handbook of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments. 

He has been editorial board member of the book series on Artificial Intelligence and Smart Environments by IOS Press, associate editor of Machine Vision and Applications, guest editor of IEEE Trans. on Multimedia special issue on Multimodal Affective Interaction, guest editor of IEEE J-STSP special issue on Distributed Processing in Vision Networks, and guest editor of CVIU special issue on Multimodal Sensor Fusion.

Hamid has been co-founder and program co-chair of the first International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras (ICDSC 2007), and general co-chair of ICDSC 2008. He has organized short courses on Distributed Vision Processing in Multi-Camera Networks at CVPR 2007, CVPR 2008, ACIVS 2007, and ICASSP 2009, and on Human-centered Vision Systems at ICCV2009, ICDSC2009, ICIAP 2009, and CVPR 2010, and has served as chair at: workshops on Use of Context in Vision Processing at CVPR 2010 and ICMI-MLMI 2009, workshop on Human-Computer Interaction at ICCV 2009, workshop on Multi-camera and Multi-modal Sensor Fusion Algorithms and Applications at ECCV 2008, workshop on Behaviour Monitoring and Interpretation at German AI Conference 2008-2009, special session on Vision-based Reasoning at ECAI 2008, special session on Multi-Sensor HCI for Smart Environments at Face and Gesture Conference 2008, workshop on Vision Networks for Behaviour Analysis (VNBA) at ACM Multimedia 2008, and special session on Distributed Processing in Smart Camera Networks at ICASSP 2007. 

Hamid obtained his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1995.
