Hello, I'm Chenshu Liu (Chen)

"AI and biomedical science can speak the same language—I'm here to make that conversation happen."

I am a neuroscientist 🧠 and statistician 📊 in mind, an engineer ⚙️ at hand, and an artist/photographer 📷 at heart. I am a curious innovator exploring AI integration in Health Science & Humanities, merging computer science, medical engineering, heritage science, neuroscience, etc.

I am currently a visiting scholar at Liu Lab at National University of Singapore (NUS), supervised by Professor Yuxin Liu, working on soft wearable devices for continual biomarker monitoring

I am also a researcher at Terasaki Institute, working on wearable biomedical devices and interfaces to integrate AI components in medicine to foster a smart-healthcare ecosystem, supervised by Professor Yangzhi Zhu, as well as on AI in immunology, supervised by Professor Chongming Jiang.

I also serve as a technical consultant for the Smart Textile group led by Professor Wei Cao at ARCS on evaluating robustness of wearable smart textiles from the lens of consumer aspects.

Previously, I held a research fellow appointment at Laboratory for Smart and Additive Manufacturing at CSUN, working on AI applications in additive manufacturing (AM) and deploying knowledge-graph driven methods for efficient human machine interaction in AM process, supervised by Professor Bingbing Li.

I did my Masters in Bioengineering and a dual bachelor’s in Neuroscience and Statistics at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Topics of Interest

My research interests focus on creating a synergy between human and AI, applying interdisciplinary technology to enhance well-being both physically and spiritually. I come up with engineering innovations to increase the accessibility and intuitiveness of human-AI interaction in both healthcare applications and societal enrichments.

I have cultivated a broad range domain experiences, spanning both natural sciences and humanities. I am proficient in developing AI algorithms diverse application scenarios. The wordcloud below shows the span of my projects, fields of expertise, and techniques.

I propose to incorporate knowlege-enhanced multidomain AI as decision support agents. I am interested in constructing reliable knowledge bases (KB) and knowledge graphs (KG) for decision supports with high interpretability and explainability in complex decision processes. I am interested in leveraging advanced sensing technologies to create a comprehensive profile of the subject of interest. By integrating these descriptive inputs and combining them with domain-specific knowledge, I aim to enable more informed and context-aware reasoning, whether for enhance patient well-being or restoring an artifact. Through the unification of sensor data and expert knowledge, I seek to enhance the overall decision-making process. I envision working with people from different fields of expertise that can potentially benefitted from AI-aided decision supports and integrate with reliable and efficient pipelines in their workflow.

I’m also interested in rethinking the role of AI in emotion support via affective computing and multi-sensor fusion, to enable creativity and self-reflection through the most natural form of personal expression and the most realistic day-to-day behaviors, which gave rise to the on-going Posture2Melody project. In the project, I propose to use generative AI, alongside with different modalities of physiology and psychology tracking, as the mirror onto our own understanding of music, lowering the bar for expression. This framework invites us to consider how AI can perceive and make-sense of human emotion overtime, enabling AI agents to deliver responses appropriately aligned with the user's emotional state.
