Topic:

Multimodal Sensing of Human Behavior

Much of what we do today is centered around humans — whether is building cars, developing the next generation of smartphones, or creating new social media platforms. A better understanding of people can not only answer fundamental questions about “us” as humans, but can also facilitate the development of enhanced, personalized technologies. In our lab, we developed a multimodal framework that allows us to capture multiple diverse signals that are reflective of human behaviors, thereby enabling us to understand several human-centric phenomena such as thermal discomfort, alertness, stress, affect, or deception. In this talk, I will describe our framework, the setup that supports this framework, and present several projects that we have been working on in this space.
 

Biography:

Mihai Burzo is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Michigan-Flint. Prior to joining University of Michigan in 2013 he was an Assistant Professor at University of North Texas. His research interests include multimodal sensing of human behavior, thermal imaging and biosensors for human behavior modeling and medical diagnosis, heat transfer in microelectronics and nanostructures, thermal properties of thin films, and computational modeling of forced and natural heat convection. He has published over 60 articles in peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings. He is the recipient of several awards, including the 2006 Harvey Rosten Award For Excellence for “outstanding work in the field of thermal analysis of electronic equipment”, the best paper award at the PETRA conference in 2016 and the SEMITHERM conference in both 2013 and 2006, the Young Engineer of the Year from the North Texas Section of ASME
