About
I’m interested in unsupervised learning for multivariate and manifold functional data. My current work explores clustering methods and representation learning to make sense of long-horizon physiological signals.
Highlighted Projects
- Cluster Analysis of Multi-Variate Functional Data via Non-linear Representations — methods for grouping long-form sensor signals (e.g., heart rate, activity) modeled as continuous functions of time.
- Wearable Data Pipelines — cleaning, windowing, and feature extraction for noisy on-body sensors.
