Postgraduate Student
Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering
I’m a PhD candidate at Monash University’s Neurobionics Laboratory.
I am passionate about the intersection of engineering and medicine, in particular biological signal processing and data-driven advancements aimed at improving patient outcomes. My current work focuses on leveraging electroencephalography (EEG) and machine learning to continuously monitor stroke patients.
My other research interests include implantable devices for cardiovascular support, and the application of computer vision and robotics in med-tech.
