<h2>EDUCATION</h2>
<h3>PHD | 2013 | <a href="epfl.ch">ÉCOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FÉDÉRALE DE LAUSANNE</a>, SWITZERLAND</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Thesis</strong>: Dynamic Classifier Combination for Multi-Sensory Activity Recognition
<ul>
<li>Outcome: I developed methods and algorithms to improve the performance of pattern recognition systems in non-stationary and dynamic environments by using classifier fusion and anomaly detection in sensor network. The proposed approaches were adopted for human activity recognition, brain-computer interface, and speech recognition.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
