Profile

Dr. Shaoxiong Sun is a Lecturer in Pervasive Data Science at the Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield. Previously, he was a Senior Research Associate in Data Science in Mobile Health at King’s College London. He was awarded a PhD from a joint program between Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands and Philips Research, focused on physiological monitoring. He earned his BEng and MEng in Electrical Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology and Dalian University of Technology, China, respectively.
 
Dr. Sun has over 30 peer-reviewed publications and 2 patents granted through the PCT system. He served on the technical program committees for IEEE CHASE 2022 and IEEE BSN 2023. He is also a guest editor for Frontiers in Signal Processing, Frontiers in Digital Health, and Algorithms.
 
Dr. Sun's research interests primarily revolve around physiological and behavioural monitoring, leveraging advanced signal processing and machine learning methodologies. In the realm of physiological monitoring, he focuses on estimating vital parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration rate through the analysis of biomedical signals, such as photoplethysmography (PPG). In behavioural monitoring, his work centres on assessing mobility and social interaction patterns using wearable devices and smartphones. Dr. Sun has developed innovative technologies aimed at assisting individuals with a range of medical conditions, including depression, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, ADHD, and COVID-19.
