About Me

I am a Senior Lecturer at the University of Melbourne. Previously, I served as a Senior Research Scientist at Nokia Bell Labs in the UK, a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, and a Research Associate at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia, where I also earned my Ph.D. My research primarily focuses on human-centered AI and sensing for health delivery. Specifically, I develop AI models that leverage audio signals (such as speech and breathing) and physiological signals (like PPG and EEG) through mobile and wearable sensing to detect and monitor health conditions. I am serving as the Editor for IEEE Pervasive Computing, an Area Chair for ICASSP, and a Senior PC for AAAI.

Research Interests

• Machine learning in mobile health: Pioneering the development of machine learning algorithms tailored for diverse health applications, aimed at enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of ML in screening, diagnosis, and monitoring.
• Speech and Audio Processing: Investigating advanced signal processing and machine learning techniques for speech and related applications.
• Time Series Modelling: Enhancing representation learning for time series in real-world challenges.
• Trustworthy Deep Learning (DL): Improving the interpretability and generalization of DL models for more reliable health outcome predictions.
• Wearable Sensing: Examining novel sensing opportunities for health monitoring using new forms of resource-constrained IoT wearable devices.

Opportunities

We welcome applications from China Scholarship Council (CSC) students and visiting scholars to join our team if the research background aligns with our focus.
