Institute of Data Science

Please meet our colleague and assistant professor Visara Urovi, who joined IDS this January. Here, Visara will continue her work on distributed system solutions and analysis applied to the health domain by designing distributed platforms for health applications for chronic disease management. For example, in one of her projects, she used data from wearable monitoring to detect and create early interventions for the Metabolic Syndrome. She will also hold some teaching responsibilities and focus on creating actions and activities for facilitating women to the data science field.
Prior, Visara first obtained a PhD in computer science at the Royal Holloway University of London (three years), and then a Post Doc from the eHealth Institute at the University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland (6 Years). During the last two years, she worked at the Business Institute for Smart Services, where she got involved with several Emotion Analytics projects, such as VERA as well as defining Blockchain Based solutions for data sharing.
Last but not least, Visara loves spending time with her family and cooking Italian food and enjoys walks and good company.
