Professional Experience

2021 – present Postdoctoral research fellow

REBECCA – REsearch on BrEast Cancer induced chronic conditions supported by Causal Analysis of multi-source data, H2020-965231.
Roles: Researcher, work-package leader, developer

2016 – 2020 Research assistant

BigO – Big data against Obesity, H2020-727688.
Roles: Researcher, developer

2013 – 2016 Research assistant

SPLENDID – Personalised Guide for Eating and Activity Behaviour for the Prevention of Obesity and Eating Disorders, FP7-610749.
Roles: Researcher, developer
Notes: Developed algorithms that processing raw signal captured by the SPLENDID system’s sensors, in particular (a) an audio sensor, (b) a photoplethysmography sensor, (c) a triaxial accelerometry sensor, and (d) the Mandometer. The algorithms detect eating/snacking sessions in free-living conditions, as well as eating patterns during a mandometer-meal session. Furthermore, the final versions of the algorithms were implemented for the Android operating system.
