I am currently working on the project Towards a Mobile Cloud which is funded by the EIT ICT Labs within the Activity Computing in the Cloud. My research interests include context and activity recognition in embedded systems with emphasis on distributed recognition systems and group activity recognition.
Starting September 2012 I will be on loan as a visiting researcher at the ETH Zurich in The Electronics Lab (IfE) with Prof. Gerhard Tröster and Dr. Daniel Roggen. Research focus will be on group behavior detection in peer-to-peer networks.
Our work on Energy-Efficient Activity Recognition using Prediction was given the Honourable Mention Award and nominated for Best Paper at the Sixteenth Annual International Symposium on Wearable Computers
