Biography
Talia Xu completed her PhD at Delft University of Technology in 2024, where her research focused on low-power wireless communication using ambient light. She is now a Lecturer in the School of Computer Science at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland, where she has held an academic position since July 2024.
Research interests
Talia’s research interests lie in low-power systems, particularly at the intersection of biomedical sensing, embedded machine learning, and wireless communication. Her work explores how hardware–software co-design, efficient encoding strategies, and low-energy processing can enable practical and deployable computing systems. More broadly, she is interested in bridging fundamental advances in future computing hardware with real-world system implementation, especially for ultra-low-power and resource-constrained applications.
My research explores low-power systems for biomedical sensing, embedded machine learning, and wireless communication, with a focus on translating advances in future computing hardware into practical, energy-efficient systems.
