Feese, Sebastian

Sebastian received his diploma in computer engineering from the Technical University of Berlin in 2008. As an exchange student he also spent one year at the RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.
During his studies Sebastian focused on software engineering, communication systems, electronics and signal processing. In his diploma thesis he investigated the problem of motion artifacts in pulse oximetry and evaluated algorithms for signal reconstruction using different sensor modalities.

In May 2009 he joined the Wearable Computing Group at the Electronics Laboratory.

Research Projects

I am currently involved in the following two research projects:

ProFiTex - Providing Fire Fighters with Technology for Excellent Work Safety

• Project ProFiTex is funded under the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union. The overall objective of ProFiTex is to increase work safety and efficiency of fire fighting interventions through advanced protective equipment including in particular sensing technologies for increased situational awareness and a novel solution for robust communication. Our contribution consists of monitoring firefighter's health and performance by means of wearable sensor technologies. Please see here for more information on ProFiTex.

Characterizing Leadership with Wearable Sensors

• In this project, we aim at characterizing leadership behavior in small groups with the help of wearable sensors. In particular, we measure non-verbal cues such as body movement, gestures and posture with our on-body sensors to describe certain leadership behavior facets. Depending on the style of leadership managers communicate differently with their subordinates which can have different outcomes on team performance. This project is in co-operation with the department of social psychology of the University of Zurich.

Teaching

• Assistant for Wearable Systems I taught by Prof. Tröster. (Autumn Semester 2009)
• Collective Behavior Sensing Seminar with Martin Wirz (Spring Semester 2010)
• Collective Behavior Sensing Seminar (Spring Semester 2011)

Student Projects

Please have a look here for an overview on offered student works.
