I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Georgia State University working at the intersection of wearable sensing, bio-signal processing, and artificial intelligence (AI).

​

My research focuses on developing multimodal systems that integrate EEG, fNIRS, EMG, ECG, PPG, and motion data for real-time cognitive-motor and neurophysiological monitoring. I am particularly interested in reproducible wearable platforms, multimodal edge AI, and personalized health training systems that can operate reliably in everyday environments.

​

My work spans hardware, firmware, signal processing, machine learning, and real-time software, with the long-term goal of translating multimodal physiological data into practical and personalized support for human health.​
