    • Research Summary

    My current interests focus on developing intelligent but conscious remote health monitoring (RHM) systems which provide patients with the ability to monitor their health via a smartphone, and aid clinicians by providing automated messages for patients and alerting clinicians when a patient needs attention. The systems are personalized for each patient population, and automatically monitor weight, blood pressure, glucose levels, pulse, and physical activity. RHM systems are not a one-size-fit-all solution, and for this reason my research team has designed a system to be fully customizable based on a population’s or study’s needs. Several of our projects have been centered on activity recognition, energy expenditure calculation, prediction of heart failure, and prediction of compliance and adherence based on contextual features. Below is a list of our projects, the majority of which have helped us improve the development of our RHM system.

    Teaching

    The contagious energy we share in the classroom brings new ideas and clarity of thought to my research. But the aspect of teaching I have come to cherish the most is the feeling of restoring hope and giving direction to struggling students.

    My biggest challenge is to inspire students to focus on studying our course material by explaining first-hand its practical benefits with clear, real-life examples. Many students feel lost, swept up in searching for their place in society and purpose in life, and this at-times overwhelming philosophical venture can easily dampen their enthusiasm for the learning experience. To keep them grounded and on-track for success, I balance lecture with discussion and group work, and incorporate learning games into the curriculum, like Jeopardy and Hackathon competitions.

    Having worked in industry for many years, and interacted with many students in academia, I have come to realize that the best employees and students are those with true passion for their work, and not necessarily those with the best grades. I make every attempt to reinforce this notion in my students; grade stress can negatively impact learning, so I focus on supporting students’ intrinsic motivation to discover, comprehend, and implement course material. To downplay grades in favor of honoring the learning process I try and give my students practice midterms before exams, and I also allow students to rewrite their midterms for the sake of learning as well as the possibility of a better grade.

    Our society can improve the lives of future generations by better preparing them for holistic success. This effort demands refining our pedagogy, and ultimately our education system. I therefore hope to continue teaching, as well as advancing personal research projects, to contribute to social progress and the betterment of our world.
