Enhancing the Interpretability of GenAI-Based Multi-Sensor Fusion in Autonomous Vehicles

To advance the state of the art in explainable autonomous driving by designing interpretable Generative AI architectures and human-in-the-loop evaluation frameworks for multi-sensor fusion, supporting robust validation and regulatory compliance whilst considering opportunities and challenges offered by software defined vehicle.

AI-Driven Cooperative Internet of Vehicles (C-IoV) as a Service

Develop enabling solutions for a new mobile, connected and cooperative IoV platform, supported by its Digital Twin, designed to meet the unique, stringent, and diverse requirements of emerging smart city applications. We will focus on advanced strategies for resource availability prediction, alongside innovative approaches for joint resource allocation and data synchronization.

Semiconductor-Based Miniaturized Biosensing Platform for Translational Diagnosis of Cardiorenal Syndrome

Develop a flexible, MOF-based EGFET biosensor for real-time detection of ACR from urine. Integrate the biosensor into a standard urine collection cup for non-invasive CRS monitoring. Design and implement a machine learning-based model that predicts ACR interference by analyzing electrochemical signal features and urine matrix parameters (e.g., pH, ionic strength, temperature).

Development of a Wearable Triboelectric Nanogenerator (TENG)-Based Self-Powered Smart Face Mask for Early Diagnosis of Pulmonary Edema in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients

To develop a wearable, self-powered smart face mask using MoS₂ and MXene-based triboelectric nanogenerators for real-time, non-invasive detection of pulmonary edema in chronic kidney disease patients through breath analysis, enabling early diagnosis and continuous point-of-care monitoring.

Embodied Pedagogy Through Indian Performance Traditions for Mental Health and Learning

The project seeks to investigate how performance practices can contribute to contemporary pedagogical and therapeutic methodologies through embodied knowledge to foster inclusive education, enhance mental health, and preserve traditional knowledge.

This collaborative, international and interdisciplinary exploration aims to promote cross-cultural dialogue, inclusive education, and well-being within both academic and community contexts.
