Research Interests:

Research in finding semantic relationships between many real-world entities and developing ontologies on them based on the collaboration framework 

• Identification and prediction of unauthorized behavior and anomaly detection using dynamic reasoning of complex contextual events from RFID tags, mobile locations, social activities, and remotely captured IoT sensor data from Smart Grid environment: Java, RDF, Jena, and Hadoop 
• Semantic analysis and decision-making framework with ontology-driven contextual events processing for e-Healthcare and e-Learning systems: RDF, OWL, Jena, Protégé  
• Massive events handling and data analytics on Big Data cloud framework: Big data processing on Hadoop and Spark framework with MapReduce programming and real-time analysis on unstructured streaming data on Elasticsearch and NoSQL databases 

Research in developing the Adaptive Behavior Training Game Platform for children with mental and learning disabilities using sensor-driven intervention mechanism according to the narrative contents of fairy tale stories 

• Attention and behavior monitoring through MindWave Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) and Kinect motion sensing device, respectively 
• Interactive video game as the Adaptive Behavior Training Game Platform using Unity3D, MySQL 
• Big Data processing framework for analysis and visualization of brainwaves and motion sensing data with interactive game intervention records using Elasticsearch 
• Narrative based adaptive approach to improve reading skills, attention, and social skills, and treat hyperactive behaviors of children with mental and learning disabilities 

Research in developing the Dance Exergame for Older Adults with Wearable Motion Capture Sensing Technology 

• Gesture detection by machine learning approach for the accelerometer data from smartwatches and cellphone devices 
• Streaming Big Data analytics framework for exergame performance management 
• Development of dance motions by adapting a well-balanced moderate physical exercise for body, mind, internal organs, and muscular system as well as meditation, disciplined and healthy lifestyle and well-known/popular physical therapy motions 
• Integrated solution for older adults with the dance exergame Narrative based adaptive approach to improve reading skills, attention, and social skills, and treat hyperactive behaviors of children with mental and learning disabilities
