The i3p group is an interdisciplinary research team at the Bruno Kessler Foundation - FBK whose scientific focus is on technologies that facilitate human communication and human-computer interaction. We have a strong committment toward user-centred methodologies and we pursue a demo-or-die approach where technologies are used to carry out user studies and as proof of concepts. The background of the researchers in the group spans from computer science and engineering to experimental psychology and sociology.
We carry out research projects in computer science and in particular in the following activities:
- Computer Supported Face-to-Face Collaboration
- Multimodal Behavioral Analysis
- Natural Interaction (ECAs and similar) and
- Mobile Information Presentation .
We collaborate with a number of research institutions around the world, for example recently we co-authored research papers with researchers from the The Caesarea Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild Foundation Institute for Interdisciplinary Applications of Computer Science (CRI) at the Haifa University and the CHIMe Lab at Stanford.
We have been involved in several research projects funded by the European Commission such as CHIL, Humaine and more recently NetCarity as well as in some research projects funded by the Autonomous Province of Trento, such as PEACH.
If you are interested in first-hand experience with i3p research, we welcome students for internships and visiting researchers. We are also looking for good PhD candidates in areas of Computer Science and Telecommunication and Cognitive Science.
For more information or inquiries for PhD candidates and internships get in touch with Massimo Zancanaro (zancana@itc.it).
