Research FellowData Science Institute (DSI)University of Technology Sydney (UTS), AustraliaMeera Radhakrishnan
I am a Research Fellow at the Data Science Institute (DSI) at University of Technology Sydney (UTS). My core research interests lie in the areas of mobile and pervasive computing, multi-modal sensing systems using wearables & IoT devices embodied in the real-life space. I am passionate about research that explores practical solutions targeted at making a positive impact on the lifestyle of humans.
Before joining UTS, I was a Senior Scientist at the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC), A*STAR, Singapore (2022-2023) and a Research Scientist at the School of Computing and Information Systems (SCIS) at Singapore Management University (SMU) (from 2020-2022). I completed my PhD in Computer Science from SMU under the guidance of Prof. Archan Misra. My PhD thesis is titled "Gesture-based Profiling of Commonplace Lifestyle and Physical Activity Behaviors".
Previously, I was advised by Prof. Asim Smailagic during my exchange at the Carnegie Mellon University from August 2016 to May 2017. I received my Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering from Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology (Mahatma Gandhi University), India in 2011. Prior to joining the PhD programme, I was working in Infosys Limited as a Senior Systems Engineer for 3 years.
