RESEARCH INTERESTS

I have an interest in the use of signal processing and pattern recognition techniques, combined with novel sensing hardware solutions, in order to bring longitudinal health monitoring into the home. In particular, I have extensive experience monitoring human movement using wearable sensors, and in the robust measurement of physiological signals (ECG, BP & PPG) in unsupervised environments. I also have a research stream on the topic of tactile sensing, spanning from the study of human tactile physiology, through to the development of friction-sensing tactile sensors for robotic grippers. More recently, our group has been interested in the use of deep neural networks for medical image segmentation, and for use with reinforcement learning to enable autonomous dexterous robotic manipulation.
