Research

My research domain concerns the intelligent analysis of (sensor) data.

My team works on making sense of data by developing and using data-driven models using Machine Learning approaches (e.g., Neural Networks, Deep Learning and Bio-inspired approaches) or agent-based models with the aim of providing solutions to societal challenges taking advantage of Big Data (e.g., satellite images) and adaptive behavior for the new ubiquitous computing world (Wearable Computing, Quantified Self, Smart environments, Autonomous robots, & Internet of Things).

Our ongoing and recent projects are:

  • O2Score: Harnessing antioxidant power with AI to support professional sport coaches, Innosuisse 2022-2024
  • SleepSensor: A next generation sleep recording & diagnostic device, Innosuisse, 2022-2024
