About me.

I'm a PhD student in Engineering Science at CU Denver, working at the InsCy Lab under Asst. Prof. Nam Bui. My research focuses on embedded AI for healthcare applications, developing novel wearable devices that bring real-time clinical intelligence to the edge — where sensing, inference, and the human body meet.
