Martin Gjoreski is an Ambizione Fellow supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and a Scientific Collaborator at the People-Centered Computing Lab, within the Faculty of Informatics at Università della Svizzera italiana (USI). His primary research areas are artificial intelligence — specifically machine learning, federated learning, and explainable AI (XAI) — applied to wearable computing, affective computing, and digital healthcare.

Education & recognition

Martin earned his PhD in Computer Science from the Jožef Stefan Institute in Slovenia under the supervision of Profs. Matjaž Gams and Mitja Luštrek. His doctoral thesis received the Jožef Stefan golden emblem, awarded to outstanding PhD theses in Slovenia. In 2021 he was included in the list of the top 2% scientists in the world for single-year impact.
