We are delighted to welcome Teodora Cvijović, a Master’s student from the University of Novi Sad (Serbia), who joins the SIPPRE Research Group as a visiting student.
Teodora will conduct her Diploma Thesis under the co-supervision of Assoc. Prof. Athanasios Koutras, focusing on “Advances in Automated EEG Analysis for Sleep Spindles, K-Complex Recognition, and Sleep Staging”
Her research will:
Provide a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art methodologies for automated sleep analysis, covering sleep spindles, K-complexes, and sleep staging.
Examine modern machine learning and deep learning approaches, including CNNs, RNNs, and Transformers, applied to EEG recordings.
Explore key datasets (Sleep-EDF, MASS, ISRUC-Sleep, SHHS, DREAMS, etc.) and their role in benchmarking automated systems.
Discuss the clinical and research implications of automated detection for sleep disorders, cognitive neuroscience, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Identify current challenges and future directions, with emphasis on explainable AI (XAI), multi-modal integration, and real-world clinical translation.
Through this work, Teodora will gain expertise in biomedical signal processing, literature synthesis, and critical analysis of cutting-edge algorithms, while contributing valuable insights into the fast-evolving field of automated sleep EEG analysis.
We warmly welcome Teodora to SIPPRE and look forward to her contributions during her research stay!
