About
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Lehigh University. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Rutgers University. My research focuses on the interaction between humans and real-world systems, particularly Cyber-Physical Systems and the Internet of Things (IoT). I develop machine learning models to understand human behavior from multisensory data and use these insights to inform the design and optimization of such systems. My work has been evaluated and deployed in domains such as intelligent transportation systems, logistics, the on-demand gig economy, last-mile mobility, and smart cities.
