George Roussos

Professor of Pervasive Computing

I create novel systems and applications using mobile computing and the Internet of Things. I explore human dynamics as a core ingredient of urban and social pervasive computing systems and I am especially interested in digital healthcare, materialising data, AI ethics and privacy, extending the museum experience, and how to create Smart Cities.

Mobile and Pervasive Computing

Lorem IpsumI am the Principal Investiigator at the Mobile Computing and the Internet of Things Lab at Birkbeck and also lead the Experimental Data Science Group.

Currently, I work on several research projects in the broad area of data driven methods for pervasive computing such as ESPRESSO, privacy presneving search over personla repositories, the cloudUPDRS app, a medical device for Parkinson's Disease, and PDkit, the associated data science toolkit for the development of digital biomarkers for Parkinsons; data manifestation for climate change; a mobile app for Zika virus surveillance; and participatory self-quantification using the IoT.

Check this page for information about older research projects such as Urban Tapestries, iBats, MyGrocer and Feral Robots.

More information about my PhD students and research staff can also be found on this page .

My work on federated identifier services, initally carried out in the context of network RFID, has provided the basis for Recommendation Y.4805 of SG20 of the ITU.
