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.


Gábor Bohár

Gabor is a department engineer at the Department of System Engineering at the University of Pannonia. He received MEng degree in Information Technology in 1998 and BSc degree in Economics in 2009 from the University of Veszprem.
