Along my career I have advised and contributed to the formation of a substantial number of Ph.D. students. I have also been internal or external examiner for a substantial number of European Ph.D. students (see* below for a, possibly incomplete, list).

​

Prospective Ph. D. students wishing to enrol in a postgraduate research program under my supervision can contact me by email at any time to discuss potential topics of research and funding options. I am mostly expecting students in the areas of context-awareness, ambient intelligence, ambient assisted living, smart homes, smart education and the artificial intelligence and software engineering techniques which can be applied to those but if you have a topic in an area not listed above but still closely related let me know and we can discuss whether it is suitable.

 

I can offer a significant list of fundamental problems suitable for research focused on the use of Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering in Intelligent Environments, both at abstract and applied levels.

 

These areas offer interesting innovation challenges which can support your future career in industry and academy.
