My research
Currently, I am working as a Research Associate on the Australian Research Council (ARC) funded Linkage Project titled "Automatic real-time detection of infiltrated objects for security of airports and train stations".
My recent research activity aimed to enable intelligent interaction between
humans and computers through the development of vision-based systems
that own human-like perceptual computing abilities. In accordance with
this aim, I have been working on two novel areas within the field: multi-modal affective state recognition and automatic assessment of aesthetic canons. I finished my thesis titled Vision-based Multimodal Analysis of Affective Face and Upper-body Behaviour in December 2006 and received my Ph.D. degree on 28/09/2007.
