Committee

Her research interests include virtual agent technology, cognitive neuroscience, and social cognition.

Her research includes the use of ML techniques and infrared thermal image analysis for the prediction of needle fear.

His research interests lie within the domains of entertainment games, serious games, player modelling, and affective computing. 

His research focuses on conversational systems, AI, social computing, ubiquitous computing systems, and human-computer interfaces. He also holds numerous patents and has worked in both academia and industry on research and innovation management.

Her research focuses on computer vision, machine learning, and affective computing, with a specific focus on automated analysis and synthesis of facial actions to understand human behavior, emotion, pain, and psychopathology.

He is studying social interaction and multimodal communication (manual gesture, speech, head gesture) using different techniques, such as motion tracking and neuroimaging. He is particularly interested in how social context shapes the way that multimodal language is utilized.

Her research focuses on donor health and well-being, in particular, the prediction of adverse events, donor experience and retention through the measurement of stress, anxiety, and mood state as well as individual differences and donor characteristics.

She is also a co-founder of AINAR.

Her research focuses on artificial intelligence for image and video analysis, with a specific focus on the segmentation of biomedical images and tracking of multiple agents to automatically extract insightful information and create computational models.

His research focuses on the development of Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs), specifically, those capable of adapting their verbal and non-verbal behaviors based on people's characteristics, ensuring seamless human-agent conversations.
