Research Interests

My research interests lies in the areas of machine learning, computer vision, robotics, and digital healthcare. The goal of our lab is to develop intelligent algorithms capable of understanding various aspects of human physiology - such as body kinematics, kinetics, activities, and intentions. We further aim to develop robotics and digital healthcare systems based on the understandings of the human physiology.
