For prospective advisors

Research direction

I work on wearable systems that sense signals from the body and respond to them. So far my work spans the hardware end (front-end electronics, PCB design, firmware and enclosures for OpenGUT, an open-source platform for sensing gut sounds) and the human-centred end (a published poster on wearable vibration, thermal and audio feedback for self-regulation). In my final-year project I am extending the signal side, working on denoising and processing at the edge. I would like to do a PhD that connects these ends: biosignal sensing hardware, robust signal processing on the device, and wearable feedback, studied with real users and grounded in real health questions.

What I bring

• End-to-end wearable hardware: I designed and built the OpenGUT platform at NUS — front-end electronics, PCB, firmware and enclosure.
• First-author work at UIST '26, plus a second-author CHI '26 poster.
• Edge signal processing: my final-year project is on denoising and processing on the device.

What I'm looking for

A PhD in biomedical engineering, biosignal processing or wearable electronics. Open to PhD positions, Fall 2027.
