Kappeler-Setz, Cornelia

In 2006, I received my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the ETH Zurich. I have specialized in signal processing and control. My Master thesis, entitled "Application of Model Predictive Control to a Cascade of River Power Plants", was conducted at the Automatic Control Laboratory under the supervision of Prof. M. Morari. During my studies, I worked for Phonak AG for about 2 years.
In August 2006, I started my PhD at the Electronics Laboratory.

Research interests

I am working for the European SEAT project that tries to enhance airplane passenger's comfort by incorporating unobtrusive sensors into the seat. I am particularly interested in multi-disciplinary research bringing new technologies to the field of psychology. The topics include:

• Emotion recognition
• Stress detection
• Personal health care
• Context recognition
• Signal processing

Lectures

During the Herbstsemester 2007, I was the main supervisor for the Digitaltechnik course taught by Prof. Tröster.

Student Projects

• Context Recognition in Seat Environment (Master thesis FS 2008)
• Stress - Physische Messung während einer Stressreaktion (MTU group work HS/FS 2007/08)
• Monitoring passenger's breathing - a feasibility study (Semester thesis SS 2007)
• Head Tracking in Kabinenumgebung (Semester thesis SS 2007)
• Emotion Recognition from Speech (Master Thesis SS 2007)
