Summary
Shaobo Han is a machine learning researcher with a decade of experience translating advanced statistical and signal-processing theory into practical sensing solutions. Currently a Senior Researcher at NEC Labs America in Princeton, he develops ML and signal-processing algorithms for distributed optical fiber sensing, focusing on anomaly detection, object localization, transfer/continual learning, and domain adaptation. His background spans a PhD in Machine Learning and MS in Statistics from Duke, plus earlier training in signal processing and electrical engineering, giving him deep cross-disciplinary fluency. He has academic roots as a Duke postdoc and research assistant and has interned at IBM Research, reflecting a steady trajectory from foundational research to applied R&D. Notably, he blends few/zero-shot and weakly supervised approaches to make low-level fiber sensor outputs actionable for safety, security, and infrastructure monitoring. Based in Princeton, he pairs rigorous theory with systems-minded thinking to drive real-world sensing deployments.
