Domain
of interests and research area:
|
|
- Biomedical Engineering
- Virtual Reality
- Digital Signal Processing
with help of intelligent algorithms (fuzzy systems, neural
networks, genetics algorithms, statistical processing)
- Techniques of programming
- Intelligent systems controlled
by microcontrolers (I am familiar with 80C51 and 80C552 from
Intel's family, PIC 16F84 - Microchip and S3C7238 from Samsung)
and DSP (TMS320C6711, TMS320F240 and TMS320C542)

|
|
The main objective of
the research is to develop a non-contact
VR system sensitive to physiological signals obtained
from users (respiration, tremor and skin temperature) and other
type of signals (body
torso and eye movements) considered to
be correlated with the state of the users.
