RESEARCH STAY AT UC3M: SIGNAL AND COMMUNICATIONS THEORY DEPARTMENT

PROJECT: My work at UC3M is focused on cognitive systems, in particular modeling human decision processes and human predictability. Based on the fact that the human brain is a "social machine", we hope to combine current research at UC3M on learning in sensor networks with models of human collective behaviors and learning.
