Job description

Modern smart phones and low-cost minimal invasive sensors are a promising platform to enable OSA monitoring at home. We aim to accommodate improved diagnosis of OSA by development of new software solutions using machine learning techniques to bridge state-of-the-art consumer electronic devices with appropriate sensors to supplement the classical polysomnography. We investigate the usefulness of supervised and unsupervised learning (data mining) techniques to identify interesting data patterns that might lead to new knowledge in OSA research and to support the design and engineering of the on-line analysis tool. The design of the on-line analysis tool is driven by the goal to enable individuals with limited computing skill to customize and personalize the on-line analysis.

In order to be qualified for this positions the candidate must document the ability to be able to produce research results on a high scientific level.
