How can cities become smarter? Our Baltic Sea university consortium is developing scalable, secure and smart solutions by integrating IoT, edge, and cloud computing. The goal is to improve sustainability, energy use, and service delivery in diverse urban environments.

Medical devices collect huge sets of patient data every day, at every hospital, around the world. What if these data could be used to improve diagnostic tools? This PhD thesis project explores how medical data can be used in a safe way.

Machine learning has been developed and adopted in different areas where both accuracy and interpretability is required. However, most high-performance models lack interpretability. Therefore, additional algorithms are required to guarantee the complex models’ interpretability.

How can technical solutions help medical doctors make more accurate diagnoses, generate prognoses and estimate the probability of various outcomes? In this project, we use machine learning and language technology to develop prediction models for sepsis and COVID-19.

Internet of Things (IoT) allows machines to communicate directly with other machines, without involving humans. This technology provides excellent opportunities to do things faster and smarter. But it also raises questions concerning security and privacy.

Research projects given in the framework of SPARC – Strategic Partnership for Artificial Intelligence Research and Collaboration

The purpose of the project is to develop and evaluate scientifically based pedagogical approaches, methods and tools within the domain of air combat training, to systematically plan, evaluate and follow up training and training results.

How can patients with severe and long-term cognitive problems after Covid-19 be rehabilitated? In this project, we design an online-rehabilitation system. It helps patients to better understand their problems, the system supports their cognitive training, and increases their motivation to work with rehabilitation online.

The OrganoFeed project intends to make lab-grown mini-organs – organoids – more reliable for research. Using AI and microfluidics, it fine-tunes the organoid environment in real time, reducing errors. This could improve drug testing and even help replace animal experiments.

Autism is one the most common neurodevelopment diagnoses, and it implies severe disabilities for many people. This project is about creating a platform to help people with autism to be more independent in everyday life situations.

Recent breakthroughs in AI have been driven mainly by large language models. While they can be very useful, they also threaten privacy – they leak private information. This project aims to identify these risks and develop privacy-preserving techniques.
