About Me:

Kevin Cheng is a Masters student and mentee in the BIG IDEAs Lab at Duke University. He earned his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering through the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University and focuses on digital health, wearable technology, and biomedical data science. Kevin is currently contributing to the DiabetesWatch2 study, where he processes smartphone and smartwatch data, extracts digital biomarkers, and develops machine learning models to predict A1c and diabetes-related risk, with the broader goal of using wearable technologies to improve disease prediction and prevention.

Kevin is fascinated by Catapult wearable technology and its ability to transform real-time physiological and movement data into actionable insights for health and performance. Fueled by Fizz-Free Peach Mango Green Tea Celsius and inspired by Bill Nye the Science Guy, he brings curiosity and enthusiasm to his work. Outside the lab, Kevin can most often be found at the gym or on a trail. On weekends, he enjoys watching the Patriots or playing basketball with friends, often with Noah Kahan providing the soundtrack. He celebrates wins with food shared among friends and family and finds comfort in homemade dumplings.
