About Me Benjamin is a Ph.D. student in the ISP group. He works within the NeuroChem project to integrate models of biological olfaction for application to signal processing in electronic noses. He graduated with a BSc
degree in Cognitive Science from the University of Osnabrueck, which he
supplemented with studies at the New Bulgarian University (NBU), the
Middle East Technical University (METU), and the Chuo University in
Tokyo. He finished his MSc degree in the group for Volume Visualization and Artificial Intelligence (WAI)
at the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) where he was investigating feature
selection for pattern classification in CT images and working on an
assignment management system (baptized: SAC) for university programming
classes. Past and current research interests include: * Signal Processing in the Olfactory System * Modeling of biological systems * Feature Selection * Artificial Fixations (artificial scanpath) * Human and Monkey Eye Movements Links Website Reading list PublicationsMatteo
