Overview

I am an academic at the School of Computer Science and Informatics, Cardiff University, UK. My research interests include Intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems, Edge-AI for Healthcare and Wellbeing, Quantum-based Human Sensing, and Embedded Operating Systems. Before joining Cardiff University, I obtained my DPhil (PhD) from the University of Oxford in 2023 and also worked as a postdoctoral researcher on the EPSRC ACE-OPS project from 2022 to 2023. My research are recognised by CACM Research Highlight 2021, ACM SIGMOBILE Research Highlight 2020, ACM GetMobile'19 Research Highlight, and the Best Paper at ACM MobiCom'19. I also helped to spin off a tech startup (Earable Inc.) and produced multiple international patents. My group’s work has featured in several press articles from Bloomberg, BBC NewsDailyMailEuronews, etc.
