Research projects


​
​Projects funding my research (1996-2003  :  2003-2016  : 2017- )

Most of the research outcomes presented in these web pages have been achieved in the context of the research projects indicated below.

​From 1992 to 2003, my formation and research has been supported by a number of individual grants, in particular through 3 TMR / Marie Curie fellowships and one Japan Science & Technology fellowship awarded to me by the scientific institutions of the European Community (EC). 

From 2003 to 2017 I've been part of national (Swiss) and international (EU) projects involving multiple institutions and laboratories. In all these projects I've been the coordinator of the research performed at IDSIA and the responsible of the related work packages. For the AAL project ALMA I was lead PI and the project coordinator.

From 2017 to present I've been at CMU in Qatar and as such I've got projects funded by the Qatar National Research Fund, in particular I've been the coordinator of the TARMEM project, which was completed at the end of 2021.
