Building Wearable Assistive Systems

PhD student in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, working at the intersection of wearable systems, signal processing, embedded computing, and rehabilitation technology.

About

I'm a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, working in Dr. Kei Masani's lab on wearable assistive systems and rehabilitation technology. My Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering, supervised by Dr. Steve Mann, focused on GPU-accelerated adaptive chirplet analysis and embedded EEG acquisition.

Adaptive Chirplet Transform

My Master’s research focused on stable adaptive chirplet decomposition and hybrid CPU–GPU acceleration for biomedical and radar signals.

The work evaluates reconstruction quality, runtime and multi-channel processing, with a coarse-to-fine search for lower memory use.

MuseCroc: Embedded EEG Acquisition

Collaborative ESP32-based acquisition of EEG and motion data directly from Muse headbands, with SD storage and optional ESP-NOW communication.

My role: system integration, acquisition architecture and experimental testing, with minor firmware contributions and embedded troubleshooting. Developed collaboratively with Aydin Hosseingholizadeh, who made foundational implementation contributions.

MuseCroc concept: Muse headband sends EEG and motion data over Bluetooth LE to an ESP32 module, with SD storage and optional ESP-NOW communication.

Publications

My research has resulted in publications spanning adaptive time-frequency signal processing, biomedical sensing, embedded systems, and rehabilitation technology.
