Kayhan Latifzadeh

PostDoc Researcher

I am a doctoral researcher in Computer Science at the University of Luxembourg, working at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, Machine Learning, and Cognitive Neuroscience. My research focuses on decoding brain and behavioral signals to better understand human interaction, with applications in personalized neurotechnology, multimodal AI, and digital health. Through collaborations with clinical and industrial partners, I aim to translate fundamental research into practical tools that advance scientific knowledge while improving human well-being. I am particularly motivated by the challenge of designing technologies that are ethical, inclusive, and human-centered, ensuring that innovation in neurotechnology and AI contributes meaningfully to both research progress and societal benefit. This motivation is reflected in my international collaborations with labs in Austria, Slovenia, and the United States, where I explored diverse applications of neurotechnology in extended reality, medical training, and visual attention research.

Luis A. Leiva

Academic Supervisor (Uni.lu)

My research interests lie at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction and Machine Learning, with an emphasis on solving practical problems that will help people throughout their daily lives. I have a formal academic background in Computer Science, Design, and Engineering, which I use to guide my research and create solutions that are expressive, natural, and sound. My main research area is Computational Interaction, where I combine computational thinking with data-driven models and methods to enable, explain, and support user interaction. I also conduct fundamental and applied research activities in Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing. This broad skill set has allowed me to accomplish multi- and interdisciplinary research, which has proved to be very useful to ensure a successful completion of several research projects.
