Ngoc Thi Nguyen
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Pervasive Data Science group led by Prof. Petteri Nurmi, University of Helsinki. My research interests include data science, ML/AI, pervasive computing and Internet of Things; with a strong focus on innovative sensing methodologies and systems for environmental sustainability and well-being.
Previously I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), working with Prof. Foong Shaohui's team on leveraging non-invasive sensing for long-range localization tracking of medical instruments inside the human's body. I received my PhD in Computer Science from SUTD in July 2021. My PhD advisors were Prof. Hyowon Lee and Prof. Simon Perrault.
For my PhD, I was exploring how multiple ubiquitous smart devices can be used in combination to facilitate and improve individual and collaborative work, especially in the context of collaborative resource consumption where unused or underused resources of smart devices can be opportunistically shared with resource-constrained devices.
