Research Interests

My research interests span Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), Machine Learning applications, algorithm design, and Brain–Computer Interfacing (BCI). I focus on designing intelligent, human-centered systems that integrate data-driven models with robust algorithmic frameworks for real-world problem solving. My work emphasizes interdisciplinary research combining signal processing, AI/ML, and computational intelligence for healthcare, assistive technologies, cyber-physical systems, and smart environments. I am particularly interested in adaptive interfaces, neurotechnology-driven interaction paradigms, and scalable algorithms that bridge theory with impactful practical applications across biomedical, industrial, and societal domains.
