János Abonyi - Head of research group

Janos is a full professor at the Department of Process Engineering at the University of Pannonia in computer science and chemical engineering. He received MEng and PhD degrees in chemical engineering in 1997 and 2000 from the University of Veszprem, Hungary. In 2008, he earned his Habilitation in the field of Process Engineering, and the DSc degree from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 2011. In the period of 1999-2000 he was employed at the Control Laboratory of the Delft University of Technology (in the Netherlands). Dr. Abonyi has co-authored more than 250 journal papers and chapters in books and has published five research monographs and one Hungarian textbook about data mining. His research interests include complexity, process engineering, quality engineering, data mining and business process redesign.

Abdulrahman K. E. Al-Sabaawi

Abdulrahman graduated with bachelor's degree B.Eng in Medical Instrumentation Technology Engineering at the Northern Technical University, Iraq in 2011 and my master's degree MSc in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, UK in 2015. The MSc’s project was about studying human emotions through recording the Galvanic Skin Response (GSR). I am a PhD student at the Department of Processing Engineering/University of Pannonia through the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship. My main PhD research field is in human intention recognition and Bio-signal processing. We will focus on monitoring cognitive load on human through recording specific physiological signals; GSR at the first step and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in the second step.
