Domains of Interests

  • Computer architecture (branch prediction, value prediction, dynamic instruction reuse, performance evaluation, power consumption evaluation, thermal evaluation, automatic design space exploration);

  • Smart building (next location prediction, person movement prediction, electricity production and consumption prediction, smart energy management systems);

  • Smart factory (assembly assistance systems, autonomous mobile robots, anomaly detection);

  • Image processing (noise filtering, pattern recognition, image reconstruction, fog detection);

  • Web mining (web page prefetching, web page prediction);

  • Machine learning (neural networks, Markov chains, hidden Markov models, genetic algorithms);

  • Algorithms (analysis, design, implementation - Java, C++, C# -, optimization).
