Research

Scouting report.

Getting a clean signal off the body in the first place — front-end electronics, impedance matching, the board itself.

Making sense of what the sensor hears, increasingly on the device itself rather than on a laptop.

Projects

The innings.

OpenGUT

Dec 2025 - present

Open-source gastrointestinal acoustic sensing toolkit: a wearable sensor board with real-time audio and haptic feedback, firmware, and a desktop app for visualisation, annotation and analysis.

Role
Designed and built the OpenGUT hardware platform end to end during a research internship at NUS: front-end electronics, PCB, firmware and enclosure. Signal denoising by Soundarya Ramesh.

Interrupting Autopilot

2026

Can a nudge you barely notice pull you out of a doomscroll? We tested heat, cold, haptics and audio as subconscious interruptions to mindless phone use.

My roleBuilt the hardware pipeline used to deliver and test all four modalities.

  • Wearables & Biosignals

BSFix

2025 - present

Black soldier flies turn food waste into protein faster than any machine. BSFix builds the technology around them, so the biology and the sensing work together.

My role3D modelling, agricultural science and the embedded systems.

  • Embedded & Hardware
  • ML

Tactile keyboard for a child with CVI

2025

A make-a-thon where the brief was one person: an 11-year-old boy with cerebral visual impairment, who told us what he actually needed.

My role3D modelling.

  • Assistive & Robotics

Analog solar tracker

Jun - Dec 2024

A solar tracker with no microcontroller anywhere in the control loop - the whole thing is op-amps.

My role3D modelling and the analog electronics.

  • Embedded & Hardware

EcoSync

Mar - Aug 2024

Hotel rooms cool themselves all day with nobody in them. EcoSync retrofits the air conditioner so an empty room stops trying.

My roleEmbedded systems and 3D modelling.

PlantCLEF 2025

2025

A CVPR challenge in computer vision: name every plant species in a photo of a quadrat, having only ever been trained on pictures of one plant at a time.

2024

A virtual reality tour of Sri Lanka, built to show people places before they book a flight.

Causal is what a real-time device can do, and it shifts the waveform. Zero-phase needs the whole recording but keeps the timing.
