Topic 1: Domestic food practices for enhancing sustainable and healthy diets
I am an Associate Professor at Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, and I am looking to help a consortium targeting Topic 1. As one of the partners in the RELISH project (https://relisheu.org/), my team at IST is already developing interactive solutions that promote healthy eating at home. These include AI recommender systems and augmented reality applications. More broadly, we are experts in the design, development, and validation of interactive systems leveraging desktop, mobile, ubiquitous, and spatial computing technologies. You can find more information about the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) group I lead here: https://web.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/augusto.esteves/.
Técnico, or IST, is the largest and most reputable engineering school in Portugal. Within IST, my HCI group is hosted at the Interactive Technologies Institute, a hub for diversity that joins efforts from not only from engineering and computer science, but from design, social sciences, arts, and humanities. Our offices include a maker space and a virtual reality lab, and we are equipped with the latest interactive systems, from the Apple Vision Pro to Meta AI glasses, and with a wide range of biosensing devices capable of, for instance, eye-tracking or electrocardiography (ECG).
