Dr. Pham Huu Dang Nhat, Assistant Professor at Cardiff University, Wales, UK, has been awarded the SIU Prize Computer Science Season 1 Bronze Prize for his doctoral thesis: “Enabling Human Physiological Sensing by Leveraging Intelligent Head-Worn Wearable Systems”.
Dr. Pham Huu Dang Nhat successfully defended his doctoral thesis in 2023 at the prestigious University of Oxford, United Kingdom. His doctoral thesis, titled “Enabling Human Physiological Sensing by Leveraging Intelligent Head-Worn Wearable Systems” is not only a groundbreaking scientific achievement but also a gateway to pioneering solutions that improve everyday life.
Dr. Pham Huu Dang Nhat has focused on developing intelligent wearable devices, capable of collecting and analyzing critical human physiological signals through compact yet highly accurate systems.
Notably, his research has proven the feasibility of measuring brainwaves, eye movements, and facial muscle activities – signals once thought to be confined to sophisticated laboratory settings.
Beyond the lab, these devices hold immense promise for widespread real-world applications. Imagine a world where his technology can detect and prevent driver drowsiness, provide continuous epilepsy monitor and alarm at home, or enable seamless, precise cardiovascular health monitor on a daily basis.
