Research Interests

I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate in the Systems Design Engineering Department at the University of Waterloo, supervised by Dr. Ning Jiang. I am passionate about signal processing and designing biomedical systems, especially in the field of mobile Electrocardiogram (ECG), neuro-rehabilitation, and Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). The projects I have been involved in include:

Academic:

• steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP) classification using Neural Networks
• Alzheimer’s detection from MRI images using Neural Networks

Research Experience:

• Rat Navigation using Brain Micro-electrical Stimulation
• Continuous Decoding of Rat Forelimb Force from Local Field Potentials (LFPs).
• Designing and Building an electrical wheelchair controlled by Electrooculogram (EOG) signals for spinal cord injured
• Micro-mouse Design

My Current project is Recording Clinical-grade ECG from the Upper-Arm.

If you are interested to have a talk about any of these projects, send me an email!
