She was born in Bangladesh, and has written in The Daily Star about the experience of being a Bangladeshi woman in tech.[3] She has also presented at TEDxDhaka.[4]
Prof. Choudhury heads the People Aware Computing Lab[5] and the Precision Behavioral Health Initiative[6] at Cornell Tech.[7] Work from her group includes using smartphone data to help predict schizophrenia relapses[8] and developing a wearable sensor that listens for sounds that indicate activity and mood.[9]
Career
editChoudhury did her undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Rochester.[10] She then went on to earn a PhD at the MIT Media Lab, supervised by Sandy Pentland.[11] After her PhD, she joined the Intel Research Lab in Seattle,[12] which was at that time headed first by Gaetano Borriello and then by James Landay. Choudhury then joined the faculty of the Computer Science department at Dartmouth,[13] before going on to become a faculty member in Computing and Information Science at Cornell in Ithaca.[14] She and her research group are now based at the Cornell Tech campus in New York City.[15]
Recognition
editChoudhury is a recipient of the MIT Technology Review TR35 award,[16] NSF CAREER award,[17] a TED Fellowship,[18] and a Ubiquitous Computing 10-year Impact Award,[19] and has been a featured speaker at PopTech[20] and TEDMED.[21] She was named a 2021 ACM Fellow "for contributions to mobile systems for behavioral sensing and health interventions".[22]
