Ananta Narayanan Balaji
I'm a final year Ph.D. student at National University of Singapore advised by Professor Li-Shiuan Peh. Before joining NUS, I completed my bachelors and masters degrees from Thiagarajar College of Engineering, India and National University of Singapore respectively.
My research involves (1) building easily integrable next-generation Wearable sensing techniques for applications spanning from non-invasive physiological/health sensing to human computer interaction and (2) developing faster AI-inference enabled body-worn tactile wearable interaction systems. My others interests are Wireless health sensing techniques, Low power AR/VR sensing and Mobile/Wearable computing.
