IEEE BioCAS 2024

VowelNet oral presentation at IEEE BioCAS 2024

Abstract

BioCAS 2024 was all about tiny-yet-capable brain–machine interfaces. I presented VowelNet, our lightweight neural network for wearable speech imagery, on the main stage, and then walked the poster floor with Train-on-Request (ToR)—our on-device continual learning workflow for adaptive BMIs. Both pieces highlight how ultra-low-power embedded platforms can deliver rich human–machine interaction.

Postdoctoral Researcher

I develop efficient machine learning systems for biomedical wearables that operate under extreme resource constraints. My work bridges foundation models, neural architecture design, and edge deployment to enable real-time biosignal analysis on microwatt-scale devices.
