PS Group Presents at IEEE PerCom 2026 in Pisa

The Pervasive Systems (PS) Group recently travelled to Pisa, Italy, to present a diverse range of our latest research at the IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2026).

From country-scale environmental digital twins to the next generation of earable technology and wireless sensing, our team shared their findings and engaged with the global pervasive computing community.

Throughout the week, our researchers participated in various workshops and colloquia, highlighting the breadth of the PS Group's current work:

Monday, March 16

• Wi-Fi for Human Activity Recognition: At the WiSense workshop, Jeroen Klein Brinke and Özlem Durmaz Incel presented their paper, "Consensus-Based Distributed Channel State Information for Human Activity Recognition," exploring advanced ways to sense human activity using Wi-Fi signals.
• Environmental Digital Twins: Andreas Kamilaris took the stage at the DIGITA workshop to share vital insights from the GAEA project with his presentation, "Experiences and Lessons Learned from a Country-Scale Environmental Digital Twin."
• PhD Colloquium: Egemen İşgüder presented his ongoing doctoral research titled "Earables at Work: Multimodal Sensing for Stress, Safety and Silent Collaboration." His work focuses on how innovative ear-worn devices can be leveraged to improve our working lives.

Friday, March 20

• Advancing Earable Technology: Wrapping up the week at the CoMoRe-AI workshop, Egemen İşgüder and Özlem Durmaz Incel presented their work, "Hierarchical Silent Command Recognition on Earables: A Multistage Learning Approach."
