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.​
