Akshaye Shenoi
I’m a PhD candidate at ETH Zurich, currently based in Singapore at the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC). My research lies at the intersection of machine learning, ubiquitous computing, and digital health. In particular, I take a theory-informed approach to investigate the interplay between physiological and psychological processes, using wearable sensor data and advanced computational methods. By uncovering these associations, my work aims to improve the precision assessment—and subsequent intervention—of psychiatric disorders.
My long term goal is to design non-invasive, intelligent health-sensing systems that support mental well-being and healthy longevity at scale.
My academic background spans machine learning, signal processing, and systems research. Previously, I worked on improving the reliability and privacy of low-power wireless sensing devices.
Outside of work, I enjoy running and reading non-fiction, particularly world history. In an effort to keep up with the zeitgeist, I have also taken a casual interest in climbing.
