Ou Bai

Dr. Ou Bai is a Professor and Director of the Human Cyber-Physical Systems (HCPS) Laboratory at Florida International University's College of Engineering. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical & Systems Control Engineering from Saga University (Japan) and a B.S. in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University (China). His research focuses on advancing Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Smart Health Technologies, and Robotic Prosthetics/Exoskeletons to enhance human capabilities through sensor integration, embedded systems, and AI-driven control.

Dr. Bai has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications and leads projects in wearable devices, neural interfaces, and industrial exoskeletons. He teaches graduate courses such as Advanced Embedded Systems Design for IoT and Autonomous Systems and Control. The HCPS Lab develops technologies like brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), neuroprosthetics, and assistive robotics to improve human-physical world interactions. His work addresses challenges in smart healthcare, industrial safety, and human-robot collaboration.

Key projects include exoskeleton systems for nuclear facility workers, gait intention prediction via EEG signals, and child-parent interaction analysis using wearable sensors. Dr. Bai has secured 11 sponsored projects and graduated 6 Ph.D. students. His lab emphasizes interdisciplinary innovation at the intersection of engineering, medicine, and AI.
