I am a PhD student at the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, University of Waterloo advised by Prof. Yue Hu. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Precision Engineering at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, where I was working with Dr. Uswah Khairuddin on deep learning for human gait diagnosis. Prior to joining University of Waterloo, I was a Research Student at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Tokyo advised by Prof. Gentiane Venture, working on applying machine learning methods on measurable human state data to understand human perceptions towards collaborative robots.

My research focuses on developing models that predict human states during physical human-robot interaction and control frameworks that allow collaborative robots to provide effective caregiving services to older adults.
