Dr. Venet Osmani received first class honours BSc degree in 2003. He started his PhD in 2005 and finished it in 2008 at Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT). His thesis was on recognising human activities by monitoring interaction of users with the environment through various sensors, with a specific focus on Pervasive Healthcare.
From 2004 up to 2008 he was working as an assistant lecturer at WIT, teaching a number of courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level. During the summer of 2006 he was a visiting research student at Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) in Singapore.
In 2008 he joined Create-Net, where he is working in a number of projects, tackling the issues surrounding Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). The main focus of his work is on development of concepts to allow independent living of patients that experience a decline of cognitive functions. Cognitive decline may be age related, or caused by various dementias, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease patients are of particular interest, given the increasing prevalence of the disease.
Dr. Osmani has been a reviewer for a number of conferences and journals including Elseiver’s JNCA, Troubador’s JPCC, NOMS2008, AmI-07, CODS2007, IEEEVTC 2007, PerCom2007, UIC2007.
