Safi Ahmed

I am an MS integrated PhD student in Electronic Engineering at Kwangwoon University, Seoul, Korea, with a strong background in Textile Engineering. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Fabric Engineering from Bangladesh University of Textiles (BUTEX) in November 2024. My research interests focus on smart textiles, wearable sensors, and flexible electronics, with particular expertise in the development of textile-based resistive and capacitive pressure, touch, and strain sensors for human–machine interaction and healthcare applications. I bring experience in interdisciplinary collaboration and a dedication to translating research concepts into practical, impactful innovations.

Research Statement

My research interests include Smart Textiles, Flexible Electronics, development of Wearable Sensors, and Bioelectronics. I am also interested in Internet of Things and Machine Learning. My goal is to develop smart flexible sensors that can monitor human motion and vital body signals by leveraging Machine Learning.
