1 Interests
I am interested in the intersection of ubiquitous sensing and machine learning techniques for the construction of
context-aware mobile systems. Most of my experience is on the design and development of intelligent eHealth
systems based on wearable sensors and location based services. I am also interested in sequential stochastic
optimization using multi-armed bandits process.
