Calling for candidates for MSc. (CS) by research mode in Affective and Behavioural Computing!

Salam and hi all!

I am looking for a potential candidate to undergo MSc. by research. Generous stipend provided for two years, and a possible extension if she/he does well. The area of research is Affective Computing – which is multidisciplinary in nature (please check out some descriptions and previous/undergoing work included in this website to get some idea) . Affective and social computing involve emotion and behaviour modelling. In general, the work deals with infusing computational applications with the capability of sensing and expressing culture-sensitive emotions, and some other social intelligence (behaviour, mood, personality etc). In short, it involves a lot of analysis in human factors and behaviour (behaviour analytics). This is a very interesting, unique and exciting area of research! The candidate should be compassionate about human behaviour, psychology and cognitive science, and ALSO love technical aspects of it (modelling, programming, simulations). Those who are interested, please contact me at syaheerah AT cs DOT usm MY.
