The EIS warmly welcomes Luciano Martínez Rau to the institute! He will work for two months at EIS as a visiting researcher in the framework of a DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) cooperation. Luciano is a PhD student at the Research Institute for Signals, Systems and Computational Intelligence at the Universidad Nacional del Litoral in Santa Fe, Argentina and is doing research in the area of state classification of animals in agriculture using machine learning. He will work on low-power implementation of algorithms using a nanocontroller on an FPGA in Braunschweig.
His project "Precision livestock farming" is about applying information and communication technologies to continuously monitor each animal on a farm in a fully automated way.
