About the scholarship
The project aims to the explore concept of empathic machines in the context of driver monitoring systems (DMS) and automated driving. The successful candidate will contribute to advancing the understanding of driver engagement, situation awareness, and risk through leveraging advancements in data science techniques on vehicle sensor, DMS, and other related datasets.
The outcome of this research is expected to be used by the industry partners and will have a direct impact on the state of the art and practice in DMS.
