Florenc Demrozi is Full Professor in Biomedical/Medical Engineering and Technology at the University of Stavanger, Norway, and a collaborator of IoT4Care. He received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Verona in 2020 under the supervision of Graziano Pravadelli, with a thesis on IoT-based virtual coaching for activities of daily life. He had previously completed both his BSc and MSc at Verona.

He is a co-founder of the IoT4Care research group and has been one of the main contributors to its work on Human Activity Recognition, Active and Assisted Living and the Internet of Medical Things. His research combines machine learning with wearable, body-area, WiFi and other wireless sensing technologies to infer human activities and clinically relevant behaviour outside highly instrumented laboratory environments.

The Verona research line in which Florenc worked includes virtual coaching, indoor occupancy and localisation, low-cost body-area networks, Parkinson’s disease monitoring and freezing-of-gait analysis, smart-home platforms and contactless sensing. At Stavanger his work continues toward AI-enabled sensor systems for proactive healthcare, while maintaining active collaborations with the Verona group. He also serves the research community through conference organisation and editorial activity, including work with the IEEE Sensors Journal.
