Prof. Cathal Gurrin
Dublin City University, Ireland
Biography: Cathal Gurrin is the head of ADAPT at DCU and the Deputy Head
of the School of Computing at DCU. Gurrin’s research focuses using deep
user profiles to develop assistive technologies using wearable sensors
and data analytics. The highly interdisciplinary approach advanced by
his group, “lifelogging”, integrates computer science, cognitive science
and data-driven healthcare analytics to generate next-generation digital
records of the individual. He maintains an extensive international
collaboration network and co-organises the QS meetup in Dublin. He is
the founder and co-organiser of the Lifelog Search Challenge at ICMR,
the NTCIR-Lifelog participation workshop and the ImageCLEF lifelog task.
Finally he has been the general chair of many high-ranking computer
science conferences and holds position on numerous editorial boards and
conference steering committees.
