Rossana Castaldo, current member of the Applied Biomedical Signal Processing and Intelligent eHealth Lab at the University of Warwick, was awarded a merit award for being selected among the best 10 papers presented at the Young Investigator Competition at the EMBEC’17 & NBC’17 conference held in Tampere, Finland this June. Rossana was shortlisted among 700 papers submitted, for her manuscript titled “To What Extent Can We Shorten HRV Analysis in Wearable Sensing? A Case Study on Mental Stress Detection”.

Miss Rossana Castaldo, currently doing her PhD in biomedical signal processing and machine learning, has been awarded for her work on mental stress detection using ultra-short HRV analysis. She presented a poster on how mental stress can be detected in healthy subjects using only 1 min HRV features.

She was awarded by the ABTA Doctoral Researcher Awards the 20^th May at the University College London.
