About me
I am a pationate lifelong learner researcher, seeking to expand my knowledge in the field of Neuroscience, fascinating of the curiosity of my brain to learn how itself -brain- is working. Since I remember my self, always wanted to be an inventor Länk till annan webbplats, öppnas i nytt fönster..
Since 2022, we have build a new focus area in Brain analysis Öppnas i nytt fönster. with a special focus in language disabilities and aging.
Biography
Foteini Simistira Liwicki received her Ph.D. diploma from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, NTUA Länk till annan webbplats, öppnas i nytt fönster., Greece, in the field of Pattern Recognition in 2015 with the title “Recognition of online handwritten mathematical expressions”. A web based demonstrator of the mathematical expression recongition tool is available here

From 1997 till 2015, she worked as Research Associate in the Institute of Language and Speech Processing, ATHENA R.C., where she was mainly responsible for research programs in the field of Pattern Recognition, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. She was also highly involved in the design and development of innovative educational platforms (targeting mainly high school education in Greece but also in other European countries). From 2015 till June 2019 she worked as a PostDoc fellow in the University of Fribourg (DIVA Länk till annan webbplats. ) in the field of Document Image Analysis and Database generation. From June 2018 till June 2019 she worked as a PostDoc fellow with the Machine Learning group at the Luleå University of Technology, Sweden.
From May 2022, she is working as Associate Professor at the Luleå University, in the area of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
