James Biagioni

James Biagioni, Ph.D.
I received my B.S. in CS at UIC in 2006, and completed my Ph.D. in CS at the BITS Networked Systems Laboratory under Professor Jakob Eriksson in 2014.

News

In September of 2014 I joined Amazon Maps as a Software Engineer. From now on, you can find me at my permanent home on the web: http://biagioni.net/

Research Interests

I enjoy working on problems that involve finding and extracting interesting phenomena from large collections of sensor data. More specifically, I have a keen interest in looking at how people and vehicles move through space, especially along transportation networks, and how we can leverage any latent patterns to solve practical problems, build useful applications, or learn interesting things.
