Discreet home monitoring including fall detection in assisted living.

Open Science

Open datasets, simulators (SimHumalator) and reproducible benchmarks.

About

From the lab to the living room.

My research develops radio-frequency sensing platforms that prioritise privacy and offer remarkable versatility - from home-based healthcare and fall detection in ambient assisted living, to customizable gesture recognitionfor Virtual Reality systems.

I integrate natural language processing with radar for sign-language recognition and translation, and explore the untapped potential of non-intrusive radar in emotion recognitionfor educational mentoring and mental well-being tracking.

The overarching goal: transition AI-assisted radar-based human monitoring from the laboratory into the real world - addressing hardware compatibility, data accessibility, and user attitudes along the way.
