About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Delaware. My research focuses on wearable sensing, activity recognition, on-device machine learning, and context-aware health interventions. I make watchOS applications. I am actively looking for full-time jobs now. I do not need sponsorships now or in future.

Research

My work develops smartwatch-based systems that use Apple Watch sensor data to distinguish sitting, standing, and walking in real time. I focus on personalized, on-device models for improving just-in-time adaptive health interventions.

Projects

On-Device Posture Detection

Personalized machine learning framework for distinguishing sitting, idle standing, and walking using smartwatch sensor data.

On-device ML Posture Detection Activity Recognition

Context-Aware Nudging System

Just-in-time adaptive intervention framework that uses contextual signals to improve the timing and relevance of health prompts.
