THE SMART TECHNOLOGIES RESEARCH GROUP

We apply advanced digital technologies to improve systems and processes in domains like healthcare, quality of life, industry, and education, with the goal of making them more effective and human-centred.

We work with sensorised physical, virtual and simulated environments, ranging from context-aware settings to complex cognitive systems, and employ state-of-the-art artificial intelligence techniques to analyse data, support human-in-the-loop decision making, and enable reactive and predictive system behaviour.

We address system and data security, user privacy, usability, and ethical considerations as core elements of our research, ensuring that smart technologies are trustworthy and that our solutions integrate naturally and reliably into real-world environments.
