Reblogging something I wrote for the ASEMI project website, that perhaps may be of interest to readers of this blog. A few months ago, our project team was asked to submit a short test pitch video to the ATTRACT consortium, in preparation for the final conference presentations to be held in September. We had already booked a session with colleagues in the Marketing, Communications & … Continue reading ASEMI test pitch video for ATTRACT
Two weeks ago, right after returning from the Kick-off Meeting for Funded ATTRACT Projects at CERN, I was again driving to the Public Broadcasting Services Ltd. studios in Gwardamanġa. This time I was invited for a pre-recorded interview (in Maltese) with Mario Xuereb for his series Ras Imb Ras. We started with our project on the automatic segmentation of microtomography images of Egyptian mummies, in … Continue reading Interview on Ras Imb Ras about our project and local research & education
Yesterday’s work started in an unusual way with me heading off to the Public Broadcasting Services Ltd. studios in Gwardamanġa, for a live 08:00 interview (in Maltese) with Quinton Scerri and Clara Farrugia on the morning programme TVAM. The topic is our recently awarded project on the automatic segmentation of microtomography images of Egyptian mummies, in collaboration with the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in … Continue reading Interview on TVAM about our recently funded project
[Updated 23-May-2019: added link to call for post-doc.] Together with other members of the Data Science Research Group (DSRG) at the University of Malta, in collaboration with the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in France, we have recently been awarded a €100,000 grant to research methods for automatically segmenting microtomography images of Egyptian mummies. The official announcement can be found on the University’s Newspoint. A … Continue reading Automated Segmentation of Microtomography Imaging
A recent publication with Thomas P. Diakos, one of my PhD students, shows that NFC transmissions can be successfully received from distances of 45-80cm (depending on field strengths transmitted and user scenarios) using inconspicuous equipment, highlighting concerns about personal data. NFC technology is in use on more recent mobile phones and on contactless debit/credit cards issued by UK banks. The implications for consumers are significant. The results we found have an impact … Continue reading Recent Research in the Press
