Christos Efstratiou is a Lecturer at the School of Engineering and Digital Arts, University of Kent. He received his Ph.D. from Lancaster University, UK. He has been a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, a Research Associate at Lancaster University and a visiting researcher at Sony Electronics Distributed Systems Lab in San Jose. His early work focused on the support for adaptive and context-aware applications in mobile environments. More recently, he has been actively involved in research projects in the areas of pervasive computing, and mobile and embedded sensing. In his current work, he is targeting the areas of social and people-centric sensing and the challenges emerging by the fusion of mobile phone sensing, with sensing technologies embedded in the environment.
