Projects that connect AI, sensing, and human behavior.

My work spans virtual sensor generation, multimodal learning, wearable computing, and inclusive human-centered systems. These projects share one goal: making behavioral AI more scalable, realistic, and useful.

EduGage

Can sensing help us understand when a learner is truly engaged?

EduGage combines PPG, ECG, EDA, EEG, IMU, heart rate, temperature, eye tracking, and interaction data with in-situ engagement reports. The project contributes both a multimodal dataset and practical evidence for lightweight sensing combinations.

AgentSense pipeline: an LLM generates personalities, schedules, and routines that embodied agents execute in simulated homes instrumented with motion, door, and object sensors
Embodied AIAAAI 2026

AgentSense

Smart-home sensor data, generated by agents that live there.

LLMs create diverse personas and routines; embodied agents execute them in an extended VirtualHome simulator instrumented with ambient sensors. Pretraining on this data improves recognition, especially when real data is limited.

IMUGPT 2.0

Describe an activity; generate wearable motion data.

A language-based pipeline expands short activity names into diverse descriptions, synthesizes motion, and converts it into virtual on-body accelerometer signals for training HAR models.
