Muhammad Farooq, a postdoctoral fellow in The University of Alabama Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, received the best poster award at a conference recently.
Farooq’s poster about real-time feedback from a wearable sensor that monitors energy intake during a meal was recognized at Tech Summit: Innovative Tools for Assessing Diet & Physical Activity for Health Promotion. Held in California in November, the conference was a unique forum that investigated current and emerging challenges related to improving energy balance behavior assessment and intervention via technology, and focused on how the research community might embrace and apply innovative new tools.
Farooq works with Dr. Edward Sazonov, an associate professor who studies sensors, biomedical signal processing and pattern recognition.
