Robust Transfer Learning for Personalized Continuous Blood Pressure Estimation
I serve as the lead researcher on this project, which focuses on developing a multimodal deep learning framework for estimating beat-to-beat systolic blood pressure changes (ΔSBP) in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), a population particularly affected by autonomic dysregulation. The proposed model integrates photoplethysmography (PPG), electrocardiography (ECG), and demographic data within a hybrid CNN–BiLSTM–attention architecture. I designed the full pipeline, from preprocessing and time–frequency signal transformation (via scalograms) to model architecture, training, and evaluation.
To address data scarcity in SCI cohorts, I implemented a transfer learning strategy from the large-scale Aurora BP dataset and fine-tuned the model using leave-one-subject-out validation on the SCI data. The approach demonstrated strong generalization and achieved clinically relevant performance, meeting AAMI standards and achieving BHS Grade B. I also incorporated Grad-CAM to enhance interpretability and ensure physiological relevance of predictions. This work represents the first known application of transfer learning from Aurora BP to SCI-specific ΔSBP monitoring and establishes a foundation for deploying real-time, personalized blood pressure monitoring in wearable systems.

MeReader: Privacy-Preserving AI for Narrative eBook Reading
MeReader is an innovative, offline, context-aware AI assistant designed to enhance narrative eBook reading by delivering targeted, spoiler-free support precisely aligned with the reader’s current progress. It uniquely combines a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework with semantic vector search, all executed locally on the device, thereby ensuring strict user privacy without reliance on cloud services. This approach addresses key cognitive challenges in digital reading, such as impaired recall and disrupted narrative continuity, through a minimally intrusive, progress-aware assistance model.
As the project supervisor, I guided the development of these novel technical solutions, including the integration of location-bound context filtering and privacy-preserving on-device inference, leading to a state-of-the-art system that advances both AI research and practical reading technologies.
