She has led the KU team in national and international research projects, funded by the European Commission (e.g., OPTIMIX, CONCERTO, QoE-NET, Qualinet), UK research councils (e.g., EPSRC, British Council, Royal Society), Innovate UK, and international industries. IEEE Senior Member (since 2007), Associate Editor for IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (2018-2021) and IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (2014-2018), she was lead guest editor for the IEEE JSAC special issue on "QoE-aware wireless multimedia systems" and editor for, e.g., IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics, IEEE Multimedia, Int. Journal on Telemedicine and Applications.
Expert Evaluator and Panel Member for the European Commission and national research councils (e.g. EPSRC and MRC in the UK), she was lead editor (2008-2010) of the Strategic Applications Agenda on mobile health and inclusion applications in the e-Mobility European Technology Platform. She is part of the NetWorld2020 ETP Expert Group, a Board member of the Video Quality Expert Group (VQEG) and a member of the IEEE Multimedia Communications technical committee, having served as vice-chair (2014-2016), chair (2012-2014) of the 3D Rendering, Processing, Communications Interest Group, key member of the QoE and multimedia streaming IG.
Her research interests include wireless multimedia networks, video quality assessment, decision theory, machine learning, and medical applications. She authored about 200 international scientific articles and book sections, international patents and contributions to international standards (IEEE and ITU). She is named in the Stanford University list of the world's top 2% scientists.
