With a solid background of several decades of experience as telecoms engineer, I offer my services as senior technical consultant and project manager in telecoms, security, software devlopment and artificial intelligence projects
After graduating in psychology I started a master in cognitive research (metacognition and its mathematical modelling and measurement). This activity is still pursued, although in a minor key, since other topics, like knowledge acquisition and representation as well as machine cognition and consciousness have taken my attetion. I would be happy to participate in research projects in cognitive psychology
I performed a specific postgrade study in executive coaching, and took several courses in counseling and coaching. I am happy to offer my services as personal or executive coach
Telecoms engineering has been my major working area for over 40 years.
In particular:
- security in payment environments and
- smart cards and their applications
in the mobile world.
- remote supervision and control of power systems
- reliability analysis of mission critical computer systems
I did quite a bit of software development myself as well as management of R&D teams in international environments.
In my graduate in psychology I studied metacognition (the way people ascertain and make use of their estimated acquired knowledge). The point of studying this is to understand how far the own evaluation and use of this feeling matched reality and was useful at all. This measurement goes beyond conventional psychometrics and requires the use of fuzzy statistics. For this purpose, I proposed a model in the R language, tested experimentally.
Further, the grade thesis ( grade final work) studied the relationship between working memory and success in software development, questioning whether expertise or amplitude of working memory resources determine throughput and success. I believe that the topic and stated hypothesis were quite innovative and could be fertile ground for much more useful resarch.
In the coaching area, I contribute by assisting people to clarify their context, capabilities and goals, as well as how to achieve them by themselves.
My clients confirmed the usefulness of my support.
My current actities center on consciousness, emotions and intelligence. The long-term target that I have is to understand, define, prototype and try out cognitive machines, capable of self-awareness and awareness of emotions when interacting with others.
My approach to Artificial Intelligence includes besides classical Machine Learning and modern Deep Learning the application of AI to Natural Language Processing and facilitatin everyday tasks as well as artistic creativity. Also of interest are the distributed intelligence and security scenarios raising now with the Internet of Things
I am still in the learning/ exploratory phase and have only produced some initial material used for some workshops that I held (presentations).
