 We are pleased to invite you to the following seminar: Proactive Computing Research at u-Lifecare Research Center in Korea, by Prof. Tae-Seong Kim, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Kyung Hee University, Republic of Korea. The seminar is jointly organized by Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence Association (PREMIA).
Title: Proactive Computing Research at u-Lifecare Research Center in Korea
Speaker: Associate Professor Tae-Seong Kim, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Kyung Hee University, Republic of Korea
Date: 04 Dec Thursday
Time: 2.00 pm - 3.30 pm
Venue: C2I Meeting Room (N4-B1a-02), NTU
Abstract:
Proactive computing refers to technology that anticipates the needs of users and takes action on their behalf. This paradigm shift from interactive to proactive computing is expanding the human care environment from u-Healthcare to u-Lifecare. To promote R&D in human life care, East-West Neo Medical u-Lifecare Center was established in 2006 with the funding from the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, Korea at Kyung Hee University. The center's research work focuses on the topics including bio-MEMS sensors, smart sensor modules, proactive computing, smart objects, and u-lifecare platform developments. Among these topics, this talk presents some recent works in the area of proactive computing.
In order to make a human care system proactive, some fundamental technological requirements include human activity recognition, human emotion recognition, human behavior prediction, statistical inferences, prognosis, and diagnosis. In this talk, some recent progresses will be presented in the areas of human emotion recognition and human activity recognition, which heavily rely on advanced sensors, feature extraction, pattern classification, and pattern recognition techniques.
Biodata:
Tae-Seong Kim received the B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Southern California (USC) in 1991, M.S. degrees in Biomedical and Electrical Engineering from USC in 1993 and 1998 respectively, and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from USC in 1999. After his postdoctoral work in cognitive sciences at the University of California at Irvine in 2000, he joined the Alfred E. Mann Institute for Biomedical Engineering and Dept. of Biomedical Engineering at USC as a Research Scientist and Research Assistant Professor. In 2004, he moved to Kyung Hee University in Korea where he is currently an Associate Professor and Chair in the Biomedical Engineering Department.
His research interests have spanned various areas of biomedical imaging including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), functional MRI, E/MEG imaging, DT-MRI, transmission ultrasonic CT, and Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Imaging. Lately he has started research work in proactive computing at the u-Lifecare Research Center where he serves as Vice Director.
Dr. Kim has been developing advanced signal and image processing methods, pattern classification and machine learning methods, and novel medical imaging and rehabilitation instruments and technologies. Dr. Kim has published more than 50 peer reviewed papers and 100 proceedings, and holds 3 international patents. He is a member of IEEE, SPIE, ISMRM, and Tau Beta Pi, and listed in Who's Who in the World '09.
