I am an Applied Computer Science researcher interested in Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. My research involves combining multimodal data (video streams, on-body sensors, environmental sensors), machine learning and human media interaction techniques to provide engaging information in a context aware, multimodal, and interactive manner.

I am a researcher at NISE Research Group, at University of South-Eastern Norway. I am primarily involved with the H-SEIF 2 project for Design and Development of Human Centric Artificial Intelligence (AI) framework to harvest big data in complex system engineering environments to help industry partners get more value from multimodal data.

Previously I was a Post-Doc Researcher in Biomedical Signals and Systems Group (BSS) at University of Twente. At BSS I was involved with the Smart Sports Exercises Project (part of eHealth initiative) to create new forms of volleyball training by utilizing multimodal sensing.

I did my PhD at Trinity College Dublin under the supervision of Prof Owen Conlan and co-supervision of Prof Nick Campbell. My PhD research was about automatically transforming video content by extracting multimodal features (Visual, Audio/Paralinguistic and Linguistics) and representing them to users as an adaptive interactive multimedia document based on the context, to enhance the exploration experience.

Before joining academia, I worked as a Software Engineer in Milan Italy. Right after I came to Eupore to study Computational Linguisitcs on an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship.
