Standards work标准化工作

On JSyC BDC since May 2024自 2024 年 5 月参与 JSyC BDC

As a Canadian expert I take part in technical discussion and drafting. Most of my effort goes into helping members from many disciplines and countries share a current picture of each vertical, because a field has to be mapped before its limits can be drawn. 作为加拿大专家,我参与技术讨论与文件起草。我的主要精力放在一件实事上:帮助来自不同学科、不同国家的成员,对每个垂直领域形成共同且及时的认识。只有先把领域梳理清楚,才能为它划定限值。

  1. Joined Canada's mirror committee as an expert加入加拿大对口委员会,担任专家

  2. Wrote Canada's contribution to the Montréal plenary on AI-assisted overviews撰写加拿大向蒙特利尔全体会议提交的人工智能辅助综述提案

  3. Prototype runs end to end on EEG seizure-prediction research原型完整运行,以脑电癫痫发作预测研究为测试案例

  4. Working definition of Environmental Bioengineering, with Ershad Kazemi与 Ershad Kazemi 共同起草环境生物工程工作定义

  5. ARBITER applied to human augmentation; draft gap report circulated将 ARBITER 应用于人体增强技术,提交差距分析报告草稿

From proposal to working pipeline从提案到可运行的流程

My contribution to the Montréal plenary proposed an AI-assisted state-of-the-art overview for each of the committee's five verticals. By June 2025 a working prototype ran end to end on a test case, the research literature on EEG-based seizure prediction. 我为蒙特利尔全体会议提交的提案,建议借助人工智能为委员会的五个垂直领域各编写一份前沿综述。到 2025 年 6 月,原型已能完整运行,测试案例为基于脑电(EEG)的癫痫发作预测研究文献。

The pipeline uses models from different developers, including DeepSeek and OpenAI, so that no single system's blind spots shape the result. It is built the way a test bench is. 流程采用来自不同开发方的模型,包括 DeepSeek 和 OpenAI,避免任何单一系统的盲点左右结果。它的设计思路与测试平台相同。

The model that checks a finding is never the model that wrote it.核查结论的模型,绝不是写出该结论的模型。 Design rule of the pipeline该流程的设计原则

A working definition一份工作定义

With Ershad Kazemi, I worked on the scope of Environmental Bioengineering for the Canadian mirror committee. AI-assisted research found no settled definition in the literature, so we drafted one.我与 Ershad Kazemi 共同为加拿大对口委员会界定环境生物工程的范围。借助人工智能的文献研究发现,学术界尚无公认定义,于是我们起草了一份。

“Environmental Bioengineering within Bio-Digital Convergence focuses on the interaction of biological environmental systems with digital technologies, and how such interactions should be standardized.”“生物数字融合中的环境生物工程,关注生物环境系统与数字技术之间的相互作用,以及应如何对这种相互作用进行标准化。”

ARBITER

Autonomous Reconnaissance of BioDigital Innovations, Trends & Emerging Research生物数字创新、趋势与新兴研究自主侦测系统

ARBITER keeps watch on developments across bio-digital convergence. Its first application was human augmentation technologies, and in August 2026 I circulated a draft standards gap report from it to the Canadian mirror committee for validation.ARBITER 持续追踪生物数字融合领域的最新进展。它的首个应用领域是人体增强技术。2026 年 8 月,我将其生成的标准差距分析报告草稿提交加拿大对口委员会进行验证。

The name is deliberate. An arbiter decides what passes, and ARBITER's first job is finding where no line has been drawn yet.这个名字是有意取的:仲裁者判定什么算合格,而 ARBITER 的首要任务,是找出尚未划线的地方。

In Figure 0, the third channel has no mask yet. WG 3's proposed item on risk assessment factors for brain-computer interface use cases is part of drawing one, and my experience maps onto the signal chain it covers. 图0 中的第三个通道尚无掩模。第三工作组拟议的“脑机接口(BCI)应用场景风险评估因素”项目,正是绘制这一掩模的工作之一;我的经验也可以对应到它所涉及的信号链。

Landscape and gap analysis领域全景与差距分析

ARBITER's first draft gap report covered human augmentation. The survey pipeline can map the research behind any WG 3 topic, and every step stays open to inspection.ARBITER 的首份标准差距分析草稿正是针对人体增强技术。综述流程可以梳理第三工作组任一议题背后的研究,每一步都可供查验。

Signals and validation信号与验证

I have spent years on signal integrity, measurement and certification testing. The same discipline applies to how BCI signals are acquired, carried and verified.我多年从事信号完整性、测量与认证测试工作。同样的方法也适用于脑机接口信号的采集、传输与验证。

Privacy and security of inference推理的隐私与安全

At Caninfer I work on how AI inference can keep data private and secure. Neural data from BCIs and wearables needs that protection more than most.我在 Caninfer 研究人工智能推理如何保障数据的隐私与安全。来自脑机接口和可穿戴设备的神经数据,比大多数数据更需要这种保护。

Engineering background工程背景

From the physical layer to AI从物理层到人工智能

I started on radio links, moved to high-speed memory interfaces, and now build AI tools for hardware design and inference. The first two channels of Figure 0 come from this work. 我从无线链路起步,转向高速存储接口,如今开发面向硬件设计与推理的人工智能工具。图0 的前两个通道正来自这些工作。
