I am a Ph.D. student at Semantic Signals Lab and WiTech Lab at Carnegie Mellon University in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, advised by Prof. Justin Chan and Prof. Swarun Kumar.

My research lies at the intersection of contactless sensing and human health. I build ubiquitous sensing systems that enable continuous physiological monitoring and early disease detection with minimal user burden.
