Research Fellow

Coventry University

Job description

Coventry University is seeking a Research Fellow for an Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) project “ RADAR Sensing for Human Activity Monitoring of Daily Living Simultaneously in Multiple Subjects ” to work in the Research Centre for Intelligent Healthcare.

The Centre aims to become a globally recognised research centre for pioneering and opinion-setting research in the area of digital healthcare and its contribution to improving communities and enriching and prolonging individual lives.

The post-holder will work with Dr Syed Aziz Shah (Project Lead & Principle Investigator) within one of the six vibrant teams namely “Healthcare Sensing Technology Cluster” supporting the delivery of the project.

Project description:

State-of-the-art RADAR systems have only been used to detect the human activities of daily living of single individuals in direct line-of-sight (LOS) and in a well-controlled environment 1,2. In this project, we will develop a novel approach of using RADAR sensing technology coupled with machine learning/deep learning algorithms for not only detecting, but also identifying and tracking the activities of daily living of multiple individuals in an indoor environment. Specifically, the approach aims to capture critical events (such as falls and wandering behavior) in direct line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight in a well-controlled controlled environment, and in a number of natural heterogeneous environments in a non- intrusive way.
