About Me

I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. degree at Biomedical Integrated Circuits and Sensors (BICS) Laboratory with Assoc. Professor Mehmet Yuce, at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. I focus on designing and developing revolutionary wearable biomedical devices and methods for 24 hours continuous vital signs monitoring, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, blood oxygen level, and body temperature. My Thesis title is "Wearable and Self-Powered Sensors for Healthcare and Human-Machine Interaction Applications".
