I build medical-grade algorithms and digital biomarkers for digital health. My work spans signal processing, machine learning, and SaMD validation—turning complex physiological data into robust, deployable, regulatory-grade products.
Co-inventor of 10 patents. Author of 40+ peer-reviewed publications.
What I Build
Multi-sensor algorithms for continuous monitoring: glucose, cardiovascular biomarkers from PPG (heart rate, blood oxygen, respiratory rate), IMU-based activity classification and gait analysis, smartphone-based cognitive and motor function assessment.
End-to-end data pipelines from device to submission-ready outputs. Systems designed for FDA and MDR compliance—reproducibility, traceability, data integrity built in.
Physiological modeling and simulation for in-silico pre-clinical evidence generation. Technical, analytical, and clinical validation of digital health products, including clinical trial design and execution.
Currently: Digital twins for CGM-driven digital health at Roche.
