Biography

Personal site drsstein.github.io/

I am Research Associate in the Inference, Dynamics and Interaction Research Group working on the EPSRC funded project Closed-Loop Data Science for Complex, Computationally- and Data-Intensive Analytics led by Prof. Roderick Murray-Smith.

Biography

I received my German Diplom (MSc. equivalent) in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Dortmund in 2010, and for my work on recognitising manipulation actions and methods for fusing data from video and embedded accelerometers, I was awarded my PhD in Computing from the University of Dundee in 2014. I continued my research as postdoctoral research assistant in Dundee before joining the University of Glasgow as Research Associate in 2016. I am currently working on the EPSRC funded project Closed-Loop Data Science for Complex, Computationally- and Data-Intensive Analytics led by Prof. Roderick Murray-Smith.

My interests are in intelligent interactive systems, spanning areas of HCI, ubiquitous computing, action recognition, computer vision and machine learning.

Research interests

  • human-computer interaction
  • ubiquitous computing
  • action recognition
  • computer vision
  • machine learning
