Current Research:
My research takes a multi-disciplinary approach to develop novel and practical human behavioral and physical event sensing technologies that overlap with machine learning, human-centered Computing (e.g., health computing, human-machine interaction, and wellness monitoring applications), internet of things, cyber-physical systems and natural language processing. I enjoy building data-driven, application-specific novel technologies, as well as new systems and applications that involve sensors, mobile devices and cloud services. Research challenges that I deal with are the uncertainties in physical world sensing, human factors, such as, the user-context and mobility, limitation of current technologies, and resource constraints of the sensing data and platform. Technologies and systems that I develop are human-centric, several of them are attributed to health and wellness, and in general, they are in the scope of ubiquitous computing.
