List of Publications: Google Scholar Profile

Affiliations: The Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS), Purdue Institute of Inflammation, Immunology and Infectious Disease (PI4D), The Center of the Environments (C4E), The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Signal Processing Society, IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society; also, closely work with the Center for Instructional Excellence (CIE) and Purdue University Innovative Learning. 

Lab and Research Projects: Dr. Vhaduri leads the mobile and wearable artificial intelligence (mAI) Lab and works in interdisciplinary collaborative teams consisting of researchers from a range of disciplines from academic and industrial research institutions in the US and Europe, including IBM Research. His research focuses on artificial intelligence (machine learning, deep learning, data mining, and data analytics) and mobile & wearable computing with a goal to innovate impactful and sustainable secure technological solutions through information integration toward empowering people in order to improve their quality of life using personal devices, such as smartphones and wearables, interconnected via the Internet-of-Things (IoT). To achieve this goal, his research integrates three major application areas: (1) HEALTH INFORMATICS, (2) BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION, and (3) PLACE DISCOVERY. Dr. Vhaduri's work involves the analysis of large-scale human study datasets collected through the mobile crowd-sensing (MCS) paradigm. His work has been featured in prestigious places such as Forbes Magazine. More information about the projects can be found on my personal website.
