Towards Smarter, Healthier, and Secure Lives Through Intelligent Wearable Sensing

Date: Apr 4, 11:45am-12:45pm

Abstract: In today’s technology-driven world, the ubiquity of wearable devices offers unparalleled opportunities to monitor and enhance human well-being. However, a substantial gap remains in their ability to intuitively understand and respond to individual needs. In this talk, Dr. Liu will share how to bring intelligence into everyday wearable devices, transforming them into proactive, responsive partners that enrich and support users’ daily lives. Specifically, she will introduce her work on developing intelligent mobile and wearable systems for understanding human behavior, monitoring human wellness, facilitating interactions between humans and their surroundings, and addressing potential privacy leakage issues. By gathering insights into individual behavior, health, and interactions, her research advances cutting-edge areas such as smart health, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and cybersecurity.

Biographical Sketch: Dr. Yang Liu joined the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge in 2022. She is currently a Senior Research Associate and Affiliated Lecturer in the department. Prior to that, she received her PhD in computer science from City University of Hong Kong. Her research lies at the intersection of systems, signal processing, and data, focusing on the development of intelligent mobile and wearable technologies for human-centered sensing and computing. Dr. Liu was named a 2024 N2Women Rising Star in Computer Networking and Communications. Her work has appeared in top venues such as MobiSys, SenSys, IMWUT, PerCom, and INFOCOM, and has earned her the ACM SIGBED China Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award in 2021, as well as Best Paper Awards at EarComp 2023 and PerCom 2025.
