Welcome to the Biomedial Signal Processing Research Lab
Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering
Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering
Our research focuses on medical devices, particularly applications of advanced signal processing, machine learning and physiological modelling to develop affordable and reliable healthcare technologies, towards saving lives and reducing healthcare costs. Aiming to minimise the current and future burden of diseases, our research is applied in cardiovascular and respiratory health fields, maternal, foetal and neonatal health, diabetes, mental health, prevention of road accidents and MORE!
A list of available final year projects (FYP) can be found here (internal access only).
Fetal Heart Monitoring
Breath Sound Monitoring
Fetal-Maternal Cardiorespiratory Interactions
Driver Drowsiness Detection
We have a vibrant research team of undergraduate and post graduate students, interns and research assistants.
Lab Head:
Dr Faezeh Marzbanrad joined Monash University in June 2016, where she is currently a lecturer (assistant professor). She completed her Ph.D. in 2016, in electrical and electronic engineering at the University of Melbourne, with IPRS and APA scholarships funded by the Australian Government. During her PhD and afterwards, she received several awards including the Len Stevens scholarship from University of Melbourne in 2014, student paper award from IEEE Australia council in 2014, and the finalist award of the student paper competition at IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (EMBC 2014) in Chicago, IL, USA. She also received Mortara fellowship in September 2017 and honorable mention for Rosanna Degani Young Investigator Award in both 2015 and 2016, from Computing in Cardiology. Her research interests include biomedical signal processing, machine learning and statistical data analysis, low-cost medical devices, mobile-health as well as foetal, maternal and neonatal healthcare technologies.
