Embedded Machine Intelligence Lab
Research Lab
At the Embedded Machine Intelligence Lab (EMIL) at Arizona State University, we develop next-generation AI, sensing, and digital health technologies that bridge the gap between algorithmic innovation and real-world clinical impact. Our research focuses on the design, development, and validation of robust, interactive, efficient, and trustworthy machine learning methods for real-world pervasive systems operating under dynamic and resource-constrained conditions.
Publications
A comprehensive review on AI-powered wearable biosensors, highlighting how machine learning and edge AI enable real-time health monitoring and personalized care, including digital twins, LLMs, and challenges in privacy, scalability, and clinical integration.
Current Opinion in Biomedical Engineering - October 2025
The CAN-STRESS dataset provides multimodal physiological and self-reported data from 82 participants (39 cannabis users and 43 non-users) collected in real-world conditions using Empatica E4 wristbands. Preliminary analysis shows machine learning models can distinguish users from non-users with high accuracy, with electrodermal activity and heart rate emerging as key predictors.
