Making the transition from academic theory to realworld application that has a positive impact on people ’ s lives is the stuff that scientific dreams are made of . It ’ s a dream that has become a reality for Eiman Kanjo , Professor of Pervasive Computing and Head of the Smart Sensing Lab www . SmartSensingLab . com at Nottingham Trent University ’ s School of Science and Technology .

“ That ' s the best thing that you could do as an academic ,” she says proudly . “ Normally we write or present our work in an academic papers , which is good , but to see it being used by real people and to see the real impact , that makes our job worthwhile .”
Prof Kanjo is a true technology pioneer – she coined the phrase ‘ mobile sensing ’ and wrote some of the earliest papers on the subject . Prof Kanjo was also responsible for the first noise monitoring system ( NoiseSpy ) where a phone microphone is used to record environmental noise .
Prof Kanjo is also among the Top 50 Women In Engineering winners 2022 .
Now her work at Smart Sensing Lab leans towards Deep Learning , Data Science and AI , especially in a mental health and wellbeing context .
Today , Prof Kanjo is proudly showcasing an Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) and Internet of Things ( IoT ) platform developed at Smart Sensing Lab called “ Tag With Me ”, www . TagWithMe . com .
