Before joining Oxford, he held dual appointments at University College London (UCL) and Nokia Bell Labs; at Nokia, as a Principal Scientist, Nic founded and led DeepX – an embedded focused deep learning unit at the Cambridge location. Nic specializes in the study of efficient machine learning under computational constraints, and over the last three years has pioneered a range of embedded and mobile forms of deep learning. This work formed the basis for his 2017 Google Faculty Award in machine learning. Nic’s work has received multiple best paper awards, including ACM/IEEE IPSN 2017 and two from ACM UbiComp (2012 and 2015). This year he will serve as the PC Chair of ACM SenSys 2018. Prior to moving to England, Nic spent four years at Microsoft Research based in Beijing as a Lead Researcher. He received his PhD from Dartmouth College in 2011.
