I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Lehigh University. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Rutgers University. My research addresses real-world societal challenges through the framework of Human-in-the-loop Cyber-Physical Systems. I develop machine learning models to predict human behavior from multisensory data and use these insights to design and optimize cyber-physical systems. My work has been deployed and evaluated in domains such as intelligent transportation systems, logistics, the on-demand gig economy, last-mile mobility, and smart cities.
I am actively looking for motivated graduate/undergraduate/visiting students to work in my lab. Please email me your CV and all the transcripts if you are interested.
