Human and Technology
Research interests
My research focuses on tracking human body movements and postures using video-based and wearable sensor-based methodologies. I developed Body-Attached Sensor Networks (BASNs) for hand gesture recognition. In my doctoral work, I propose a virtual testing framework for BASNs, avoiding costly preliminary studies by using a multibody model of the human upper limb and a custom machine learning algorithm. I also work in the field of sports engineering, focusing on wearable sensor networks for performance monitoring and investigating human vibrations, particularly cycling vibrations caused by road profiles.
