Biography
National University of Singapore
I’m a scientist at UC Berkeley Center for the Built Environment and I love digging into data to develop solutions for human-centered smart, resilient, and sustainable systems. I have great experience in modeling the dynamics of human-in-the-loop systems and capturing the time-variant behaviors of both cyber-physical systems and their users. I have developed data cleaning, signal processing, machine learning, and control tools leading to various hardware or software products.
