Dr Sebastian Stein
Sebastian left the BESiDE team in October 2016 to join the School of Computing at the University of Glasgow.
Researcher
My background is in activity recognition, sensor fusion, computer vision and machine learning. For my PhD, I investigated methods for recognizing manipulation activities, which involve complex interactions between hands, tools and other objects, combining information from accelerometers and video. My goal is to take methods for activity recognition and machine learning out of the academic sandpit and apply them to real problems of socially and technologically excluded people. In order to reach this goal, I believe that it is absolutely necessary to assess needs and design solutions in a user-centric approach. Within the BESiDE project, I am interested in developing methods for automatic physical activity assessment and indoor tracking from body-worn sensors, providing the link between medical researchers and cloud computing experts.
