معرفی
Nam Bui is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Colorado Denver, where he founded and directs the Intelligent Networked Systems and Cybernetics Laboratory (InsCy Lab). His research focuses on developing intelligent cybernetic systems at the intersection of AI, machine learning, and embedded systems, with applications in mobile/wearable health monitoring and physiological sensing.
His research interests span:
- Innovative sensing techniques for health monitoring
- Embedded intelligent systems leveraging AI/ML
- Wearable technology for physiological measurement
- Multidisciplinary approaches to medical cybernetics
Analysis of recent publications reveals consistent themes in wearable health technology development, particularly focusing on non-invasive monitoring techniques for vital signs (blood pressure, respiration, glucose) using ear-worn and behind-ear devices. Key technical innovations include compressed sensing frameworks, closed-loop acoustic stimulation systems, and novel sensing modalities like polarization-based optical detection.
