Tarek Hamid

I am an Electrical and Computer Engineering PhD student at UVA, advised by Dr. Amanda Watson. Before starting my PhD, I held various roles at Sotera Digital Health, JPMorgan Chase, the Department of Defense, and Johnson & Johnson. I received my Master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University and my Bachelor’s degree from The College of New Jersey.

My research focuses on the detection of various physiological biomarkers using off-the-shelf wearable devices, including glucose, blood pressure, skin-tone, macronutrients, and lactate. My primary interests are in digital health, wearable devices, medical cyber-physical systems, and applied machine learning.
