Philipp Lepold
Profile
I'm a PhD student at TECO since 2024, working on the OpenEarables and the JuBot Project. During my Masters's thesis, I enhanced OpenEarable by developing OpenEarable ExG, an extension that enables the sensing of biopotentials such as EEG and EOG.
Since then, my current research focuses on harnessing the rich potential of biopotentials using wearables, to gain deeper insights into brain and body activity.
If you are interested in a thesis working on biopotential-sensing for health and HCI (EEG, EOG, EMG), embedded machine learning, wearables, innovative iOS / iPadOS apps, even if there's none listed below, please just give me a shout!
