Aidan Acquah
Postdoctoral Researcher in Wearable Sensors
Aidan is a researcher in the OxWearables group, led by Prof. Aiden Doherty at the Big Data Institute, University of Oxford. His research focuses on advancing human activity recognition by using the latest machine learning techniques to derive objective measures of physical activity and exploring their associations with health outcomes.
This builds on the work during his DPhil, also completed at University of Oxford in 2025, which investigated the use of wrist-worn accelerometers to predict Parkinson’s disease.
Before joining Oxford, Aidan worked as a consultant analyst programmer, working on a variety of projects for oil and gas, consumer and healthcare industry clients. In his spare time, Aidan enjoys travelling, volunteering and playing Dungeons & Dragons.
