Research
I am interested in developing novel tools in the form of algorithms for the extraction of the meaningful gait measures from the wearable inertial sensors data in general and applying the deep leaning techniques to find the progression of the diseases in particular. I am working in the following domains:
- Wearable Technology
- Signal Processing
- Machine Learning/Deep learning
- Gait
