I am a PhD student working in the area of Pervasive Computing and Wireless Sensor Networks. My research focues on the development of software for body and ambient sensor networks, especially the development of a middleware that mediates between applications and sensors. For more details on my reseach, please visit the myHealthAssistant project which describes the middleware and applications we have implemented as well as the main contributions of my work.
