RESEARCH PROFILE

My research lies at the intersection of AI, ubiquitous computing, and healthcare. I design sensing systems that transform signals from mobile devices, wearables, wireless sensing, and physiological sensors into practical tools for health monitoring and human-computer interaction, with an emphasis on noisy real-world data, diverse users, and deployable, human-centered systems.

SELECTED RESEARCH PROJECTS

Med2ECG: Contactless ECG Reconstruction

Reconstructs clinically useful ECG waveforms from passive BCG signals by aligning latent cardiac events across healthy and clinical populations.

Wandatch: Infrastructure-Free Point-to-Command

Enables smartwatch-based pointing and appliance control using existing speakers, without cameras, tags, anchors, or room-specific calibration.

Sensing Life in Stillness: mmWave Human Mesh Reconstruction

Unifies dynamic-motion and static-presence sensing to reconstruct 3D human meshes with mmWave radar when visible movement is limited.
