Event

The SAFER Thursday webinar week 48 is hosted by SAFER partner Jönköping University. We will hear presentations from the School of Engineering, School of Health and Welfare and a short introduction to the Jönköping AI Lab.

Introduction to JU 
Speakers: Salem Seifeddine, Professor, Associate Dean of Research & Maria Riveiro, Professor Computer Science, School of Engineering, JU.

A short presentation about Jönköping AI Lab, its members, and competencies, as well as projects of interest to SAFER that focus on applied AI.

Humans in Personalized Systems 
Speaker: Bruce Ferwerda, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science and Informatics, School of Engineering, JU.

Solely creating systems that are based on patterns in user data is not enough anymore. By heavily relying on data patterns can put users inside a "Filter Bubble" that severely limits their perspectives. Systems are ought to go beyond algorithmic accuracy by tapping into the subjective experiences of users. These systems should not only know what their users want, but should also teach them more about themselves by supporting them in developing, exploring, and understanding their unique personal preferences.
 
In this short talk, a high-level overview will be given of the research done in the HCI Lab of the Department of Computer Science and Informatics. The research at the HCI Lab applies a theory-driven approach to big data. With the use of psychological and cognitive models, a deeper understanding is aimed to be created of the subjective user experiences by taking into account different user characteristics, (social) contexts, and modalities. These understandings are in turn used to create systems that better support the fickle behaviors, preferences, and needs of users.

Deformation of human tissues
Speaker: Sara Kallin, Licentiate, lecturer and Program Director Prosthetics and Orthotics BSc, Department of Rehabilitation, School of Health and Welfare, JU

Sara will present her initial research done on deformation of tissues in the human lower leg, effects of combining tissue layers in simulation with FE, and experimental data collection of in vivo deformation in separate tissue layers of the human leg. Collaboration between JU departments at School of Engineering and School of Health and Welfare, and with med-tech industry led to this multidisciplinary research. Investigation of external load on and deformation of the tissues are challenging. Simulation models for deformation of human soft tissues are simplified in comparison to the human anatomy and biomechanics, and material data for different tissue types are limited. This influences the outcomes of simulation analyses, and we need to know more about the effects of simplifications as well as the behaviour of different tissues under loading. 

Biomechanical measurements in different situations of human activity
Speaker: Louise Bæk Larsen, PhD, lecturer, and Program Director MASTech MSc program Assistive technology, Department of Rehabilitation, School of Health and Welfare, JU

This talk will be about projects and research at the Departments of Rehabilitation related to human movement, balance, pressure, physical ergonomics, and cognitive load on the brain during physical activities. Much of the work being done at the department is related to assistive technology but there are also projects involving external partners such as the Swedish Police Authority.  Louise Bæk Larsen has for the past ten years had continuous collaborations with the Swedish police focusing on different parts of the physical work environment for active-duty officers. This includes safety vests, equipment worn on the body and different aspects of the work situation and environment in police vehicles.

Welcome!
