The call for two pre-doctoral
fellowships funded by Hospital E.O. Galliera of 4 months each
for students interested to apply also to the PhD programs in
Computer
Science (see link)
or in Computational
Intelligence (see link)
of
the
University
of
Genova
will
be
available
in August
2012. The deadline for
applications will be in October 2012 and the two fellowships should
start in November 2012.
The research activity will be part
of the project "Machine Learning
methods applied to an experiment in Ambient Assisted Living at the
Special Unit for Dementia of RSA Galliera" (see link)
that
is
aimed
at
the
intelligent analysis of behavior on
the basis of sensed data obtined from the interaction
of the individual with the assistive environment. Sensors of various
kinds (e.g., ultra-sound, RFID, video, blood pressure, temperature)
will be installed in the pilot plant (the Special Unit for dementia of
the Galliera Hospital in Genoa-Italy); data will be concentrated, mined
using Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence methods, and made
available to the medical and paramedic staff interactivelity on video
screens, tablets and smart phones. The expected results of the project
are: (a) allowing the real-time monitoring of the health of the
subject;
(b) increasing the security; (c) optimizing the work of the paramedical
staff.
Fellowship #1
Fellowship #2
Required qualification for both
positions: Master and/or
Bachelor in Computer
Science,
Electronics, Bio-Engineering,
or
Physics.
