About
I am a Research Scientist at Singapore Management University, working on AI-driven wearable healthcare and health informatics. My research spans large-scale clinical data acquisition, biomedical signal analysis, interpretable and personalized AI/ML, edge deployment, and wearable device prototyping.
I received my Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering & Instrumentation Science from Zhejiang University in 2024, and was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (2024–2025), supervised by Prof. Yuanting Zhang (IEEE Life Fellow) and Prof. Ni Zhao.
I am currently interested in foundation models for physiological signals, motion-robust wearable sensing, and translating research prototypes into deployable health systems.
