Hi, I am Sabbir. đ đÂ
I am a Provost's Fellow and Ph.D. student in the Dept. of Systems and Information Engineering at the University of Virginia (UVA). Currently, I am working with Prof. Laura Barnes at the Sensing Systems for Health (S2He) lab of UVA. Earlier, I worked as a data scientist at the Design Inclusion and Access Lab, at North South University, Bangladesh. My research interest lies in the intersection of pervasive devices, machine learning, and the mental health of people from resource-constrained settings.
Since my undergrad life, I have been leading a research project named Mon Majhi (Mind Navigator). The main goal of that project is to develop a minimal, real-time, and unobtrusive system for assessing mental health.
