Profile

Dr Shaoxiong Sun is a Lecturer in Pervasive Data Science in the School of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield. Previously, he worked as a Senior Research Associate in Data Science for Mobile Health at King's College London. He earned his PhD through a joint programme between Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and Philips Research in the Netherlands, where his research focused on physiological monitoring. He obtained his BEng and MEng in Electrical Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology and Dalian University of Technology, China, respectively.

Dr Sun has authored over 30 peer-reviewed publications and holds two granted patents in the United States and Europe. He has served on the Technical Program Committees of IEEE CHASE and IEEE BSN, as well as UbiComp/ISWC, and is a founding member of the IEEE Internet of Wearable Things Working Group. He also serves as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics and on the Editorial Board of BMC Global and Public Health. He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a member of the EPSRC Peer Review College.

His research interests primarily revolve around physiological and behavioural monitoring, leveraging advanced signal processing and machine learning methodologies. In physiological monitoring, he focuses on estimating vital parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration rate through the analysis of biomedical signals, particularly photoplethysmography (PPG). In behavioural monitoring, his work centres on assessing mobility and social interaction patterns using wearable devices and smartphones. He has developed innovative technologies aimed at assisting individuals with a range of medical conditions, including depression, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, ADHD, and COVID-19.
