PhD positions at Northeastern on technology and biking

[Jason Moore]

Please share with your students and colleagues:

Hello ,

I’m writing you because you have done some past work on technology and biking and may know of others interested in that topic as well.

I am looking for potential PhD students who would absolutely love to do research on novel technology to encourage active transportation via bicycling. This is a new transdisciplinary research project that will involve pulling together ideas from computer science, human-computer interaction, behavioral science, physical activity measurement and promotion, and “smart cities” infrastructure. My research group at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts works on sensor-enabled mobile health technologies (http://mhealthgroup.org), and this new project arose out of that work.

A student could work on this topic by entering graduate school enter through either our unique PhD in Personal Health Informatics program (http://phi.neu.edu) or our more traditional PhD in Computer Science program (https://www.ccis.northeastern.edu/program/computer-science-phd/). We fully fund our graduate students.

If you know of someone who is passionate about both computing and cycling, with a possible interest in research and doctoral studies, could you please pass this note along to him or her, and ask the person to get in touch with me? Alternatively, if you know of a mailing list or other electronic venue that people interested in computing and cycling read, it would be great if you could forward this note.

Thank you for your time,
Stephen
