Interview with Zahra Ghorrati: developing frameworks for human activity recognition using wearable sensors

In this interview series, we're meeting some of the AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium participants to find out more about their research. Zahra Ghorrati is developing frameworks for human activity recognition using wearable sensors. We caught up with Zahra to find out more about this research, the aspects she has found most interesting, and her advice for prospective PhD students. Tell us a bit about your PhD - where are you studying, and what is the topic of your research? I am pursuing my PhD at Purdue University, where my dissertation focuses on developing scalable and adaptive deep learning frameworks for human activity recognition (HAR) using wearable sensors.
