About Me

Hi! I’m Jake Stuchbury-Wass. A PhD Student in the Mobile Systems Group in the Computer Lab at The University of Cambridge supervised by Prof. Cecilia Mascolo. My current work focuses on ear worn wearables (earables), specifically, for assessing gait for health and sport applications. Before this, I did a degree in Information and Computer Engineering also at Cambridge as well as an MRes at the Sensor CDT. I’m supported by an EPSRC studentship and a sponsorship from Atos. I currently work as a Machine Learning Engineer for auryx. I have previously worked as a research intern at Nokia Bell Labs and as a technical consultant for British Cycling working on a distributed sensing system. Outside of work I’m a keen cyclist and like to explore on my bike!
