Declaration of interest regarding PhD project:
SENS Innovation ApS and the Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics, research unit for Active Living at SDU are looking for applicants for a PhD scholarship within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network ‘Advanced behavioural data analysis’ funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme (grant agreement No.101072993). The PhD project is expected to start in October 2023 and employment will be for 36 months.
The LABDA project
LABDA (Learning Network for Advanced Behavioural Data Analysis) is an EU-funded MSCA Doctoral Network, that brings together leading researchers in advanced movement behaviour data analysis at the intersection of data science, method development, epidemiology, public health, and wearable technology to train a new generation of creative and innovative public health researchers via training-through-research. The main aims of LABDA are to establish novel methods for advanced 24/7 movement behaviour data analysis of sensor-based data, examine the added value of advanced behavioural data analysis and multi-modal data for predicting health risk and facilitate the use and interpretability of the advanced methods for application in science, policy and society. Via training-through-research projects, 13 doctoral fellows will contribute to reaching these aims. Together, they will develop a joint taxonomy to enable interoperability and data harmonisation. Results will be combined in an open-source LABDA toolbox of advanced analysis methods, including a decision tree to guide researchers and other users to the optimal method for their (research) question. The open-source toolbox of advanced analysis methods will lead to optimised, tailored public health recommendations and improved personal wearable feedback concerning 24/7 movement behaviour. For more information, see the project’s website: www.labda-project.eu.
What will you do
You will be part of a development team working on the next generation of enriched accelerometer-based data collection systems, and as such be instrumental in the development of a smart-phone application to see your work implemented in real life products.
As an industrial PhD student in the project ‘multi-source time series data analysis’ your challenge is to extend the SENS motion state-of-the-art activity sensor data with contextual data such as smart phone GPS position, ecological momentary assessment (EMA) functionality and user insights collected through the existing SENS motion app.
Your work will be key to improve classification accuracy and/or add contextual information central to providing a world leading scalable platform for collection of physical activity data.
