Welcome
Welcome to the MaD Lab!
The researchers in the Machine Learning and Data Analytics (MaD) lab conduct theoretical and applied research for wearable computing systems and machine learning algorithms for engineering applications at the intersection of sports and health care. Our motivation is generating a positive impact on human wellbeing, be it through increasing performance, maintaining health, improving rehabilitation, or monitoring disease.

Are male polar bears more prone to signs of stress under human care than females? At what time of day do polar bears struggle to find peace? And are there seasons when polar bears just want to chill? To answer these questions, we developed an automated system to detect stress-related behaviours unde...
