Below the list of current and past projects in which I worked during my employment at the L3S.
GlycoRec (January 2015-present)
Roles: proposal writer, local manager and work package leader, researcher
The BMBF-funded project GlycoRec will investigate how to improve everyday support for people suffering from diabetes by providing individual advices regarding everyday decisions that affect their health and well-being. Long-term monitoring and analysis of physiological data as well as context data will allow for more accurate predictions, which form the basis for targeted advices and recommendations. This will allow patients to recognize and adhere to patterns that affect their health in a positive manner.

EUMSSI (December 2013-present)
Roles: proposal writer, local manager and work package leader, researcher
The main objective of EUMSSI is developing technologies for identifying and aggregating data presented as unstructured information in sources of very different nature (video, image, audio, speech, text and social context), including both online (e.g., YouTube) and traditional media (e.g. audiovisual repositories), and for dealing with information of very different degrees of granularity. The multimodal analytics will help organize, classify and cluster cross-media streams, by enriching its associated metadata
Madsack (March 2013-2015)
Roles: local manager, researcher
In a joint venture between publisher Madsack and Leibniz University, innovative and usable personalisation concepts for ePaper offers publishable by Madsack are to be developed. The planned ePaper should to be more dynamic and more attractive for readers than previous approaches, in particular adapted better to their information requirements, preferences and interests through personalisation based on users and user-groups.
LinkedUp (November 2012-2015)
Roles: work package leader, researcher
The emergence of the (Linked) Open Data movements has led to an ever growing amount of Web data. LinkedUp will push forward the exploitation of open Web data, particularly in the field of education, through a range of activities, for instance, the development of a curated data environment and a competition and evaluation framework which identifies innovative success stories of robust, Web-scale data and knowledge management applications in the educational sector.
STELLAR (2009-2012)
Roles: proposal writer, local manager, work package leader, researcher
STELLAR is a Network of Excellence in Technology-Enhanced Learning. It brings together researchers from various disciplines to shape the future of TEL.

Sync3 (2009-2012)
Roles: local manager, work package manager, researcher
The goal of SYNC3 is to bring together news events and topics from mainstream media with peoples’ comments and opinions in the Blogosphere.
