Profile

I love to read books about Brain activity. Hiking is my stress buster.

I have over 7 years of experience developing neural sensors like EEG (electroencephalogram), ECG (Electrocardiogram), and EMG (Electromyography) for assessing brain and muscle function, creating implantable medical devices, and advancing BCIs to improve health outcomes.

Currently, I’m a postdoctoral researcher at Technological University of Dublin, working on a Smart Self-Care for Dementia project. Our goal is to design technology that helps people with dementia maintain their independence and well-being. We’re developing a user-friendly digital solution, in collaboration with individuals with dementia and the Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland, that includes sensors and smart home monitoring to track daily activities. We also use machine learning to better understand behavior patterns, ensuring that the technology adapts to the needs of the individual.

By involving people with dementia directly in designing these tools, we aim to improve their quality of life, making sure the technology truly supports them. Our work follows European medical standards and ensures safety, usability, and respect for privacy.

This project is important because it empowers people with dementia, helping them stay independent for longer, and offers caregivers valuable insights, all through easy-to-use technology.

My work is a mix of exciting challenges. Some days, I collaborate with my boss, colleagues, and stakeholders in co-designing the project, while other days, I might wrap up early. I also get the opportunity to travel to conferences around the world, meeting diverse people and patients, which is always enriching.

I truly love what I do and feel fulfilled knowing that my work is helping society.
