Brief Bio
Jordi Solé-Casals currently holds a permanent position as a Full Professor of the Department of Engineering of the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia and is the head of the Data and Signal Processing Research Group (DSP, UVic-UCC). He is also Visiting Scientist (2016 ~) at the Brain Mapping Unit of the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Cambridge (UK) and Visiting Scientist (2020 ~) at the College of Artificial Intelligence, Nankai University (China). He obtained the Ph.D. degree with European label in 2000, and the B.Sc. degree in Telecommunications in 1995, both from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona; and the B.Hum in 2010 from the Open University of Catalonia (UOC), Barcelona. In 1994 he joined the Department of Engineering of the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia, where he was the Director (2010-2012). He was Visiting Research/Scientist with the GIPSA Lab. in Grenoble (France), the Lab. for Advanced Brain Signal Processing, BSI-RIKEN in Wako (Japan) and the Tensor Learning Team, at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP), Tokyo (Japan). Currently he continues the relationships with these laboratories. His research interests include signal processing specially in the biomedical field (EEG, fMRI, speech, handwritten, biometric applications), machine learning/deep learning and statistical modelling for applied sciences. ...

Brief Bio
Hui Liu is a post-doctoral researcher at the Cognitive Systems Lab (CSL), University of Bremen, focusing on biomedical engineering, biosignal processing, human activity recognition (HAR), rehabilitation assistance, machine learning (ML), robotics, virtual reality, and music information retrieval (MIR). Hui Liu developed the first mobile system that senses and recognizes its users' movements in real-time, utilizing proximity wearable sensors integrated into a knee bandage. He invented Motion Units, a human activity modeling method with interpretability, generalizability, and expandability, rationalizing knowledge from kinesiology and automatic speech recognition into HAR research (2021). In 2022, Hui Liu proposed novel variants of the pitch histogram, the merged pitch histogram and the pitch-duration histogram, and successfully applied them to ethnomusicology studies and singing aids. Currently, Hui Liu has two technology patents pending. ... More >>
