Brief Bio Publications | CVResearch Group | Prospective Students 

I am a professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and a member of the Computer Science Department graduate group at UC-Davis. I lead our team at the Laboratory for Embedded and Programmable Systems (LEPS), where we work on embedded and cyber-physical systems, with an emphasis on applications in health and medicine. I received my PhD in Computer Science from UCLA in 2004.

Research

I am interested in design methodologies for embedded and cyber-physical systems (CPS). In my research, I aim to build systems that can monitor, predict and influence application-specific processes, including those in the physical world and/or involving humans. More specifically, my research work deals with system-level modeling, analysis, synthesis and optimization of embedded systems, programmable execution platforms (e.g., processors, DSPs, GPUs and FPGAs) and tools for automating the design process. The area focuses on system-level and human-integration challenges, and offers an interesting blend of theory and practice: real-world applications give rise to research problems, for which solutions are developed using a combination of analytical and experimental (data-driven) techniques.

Our team is always on the lookout for emerging applications of societal significance, which can benefit from advances in the technology. While the specific application focus may change from time to time, we are presently focused on human health and wellness as the target domain. In particular, we are currently working on transabdominal fetal oximetrywearable bladder volume sensing, data analytics & machine intelligence for health.
 


I expect to have a number of open PhD positions in our group in the broad areas of smart health and AI for health. Ideal candidates have a solid background in core ECE topics, particularly signal processing, circuits and systems, and a strong interest in integrative cross-disciplinary projects. If interested, please submit an application by the deadline.
