Expertise:

Pattern Recognition, sensor technology, embedded systems.
Context inference and probabilistic modelling of daily activities (pattern recognition and machine learning).
Activity spotting, gesture recognition, and related topics.
Wearable and ubiquitous computing.
Personal health applications, including Automatic Dietary Monitoring, physical rehabilitation.

Statement:

Simultaneously enjoying the insight in fundamental concepts and methods, as well as being able to apply and extend practical solutions is essential to create an impact for the future. I am aiming to help students accessing both.
