I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto, with appointments in the Biostatistics Division and Institute of Health Policy, Management, and Evaluation (IHPME) at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health (DLSPH) and Faculty of Information (FoI). My research integrates mobile devices and interconnected systems to develop innovative methods for health monitoring and analysis. I am particularly passionate about fostering a healthy society by creating equitable applications that empower individuals to take charge of their health and well-being. Grounded in systems research, my work explores the intersection of Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing, Applied Machine Learning, and Human-Computer Interaction.

Beyond my academic pursuits, I relish the simple yet exquisite things in life. Connecting with nature via birdwatching is my portal to wellness. Not a photographer, but I do pretend to be one with some passable shots. Check out my gallery.
