Researcher - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

The University of San Diego is seeking a researcher for its Department of Electrical Engineering to contribute to an NSF-funded project involving data-centric artificial intelligence and wearable biosensors. The role focuses on analyzing physiological signals, developing and evaluating machine learning models, supporting human-subject research and adaptive application development, and contributing to publications and project dissemination.

Responsibilities:

• Processing and analyzing physiological signals from wearable biosensors, including heart rate and electrodermal activity (EDA)
• Developing, implementing, and evaluating machine learning and AI models using public and project-generated datasets
• Applying data-centric AI techniques, including data cleaning, feature engineering, augmentation, and multimodal data analysis
• Evaluating and working with wearable sensing technologies
• Supporting development and evaluation of an adaptive application for translating AI results into actionable insights for instructors
• Support human-subject research activities, including participant recruitment, wearable biosensor deployment, physiological data collection during classroom studies, and organization and analysis of collected data in accordance with the approved IRB protocol
• Conducting literature reviews and documenting research methods and results
• Contributing to research publications, presentations, and dissemination of project findings
• Collaborating with undergraduate researchers and other members of the research team
