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 states - such as body kinematics, kinetics, activities, and intentions. Furthermore, drawing upon our understandings of human states, we aim to design robotics and digital healthcare systems that offer benefits to humans.
