Past Research Lines
- Vital Responder - Monitoring Stress in First Responder Professionals
The goal of the CMU|Portugal Vital Responder research project is to
explore the synergies between innovative wearable technologies, scattered
sensor networks, intelligent building technology and precise localization
services to provide secure, reliable and effective first-response systems
in critical emergency scenarios. Based on these observations we are
intrigued by the possibility of evaluating human stress in real-time
under the aforementioned adverse conditions, by means of continuous
online vital sign monitoring of first responders. Using Vital Jacket®
technology, our research team will be responsible for the signal
processing (What kind of useful physiological parameters and events can we
successfully extract from the collected signals?) and human-computer
interaction (How can we present this massive information in a way that is
useful for the target users under real stress situations?) tasks.

- Assisted Annotation of Microscopy Imaging
Biology laboratories produce massive amounts of microscopy data, which
typically takes days to manually process. Computer vision, along with
other research fields such as Human-Computer Interaction, can pave the
way for what is currently known as high-throughput microscopy imaging:
full automation of the imaging capture and analysis process, significantly
boosting Biology research.
