    MOASIS Study

    Keeping active in later life keeps you healthy. MOASIS is a study conducted by UZH to examine how older people live and the effect this has on their fitness levels and well-being. The message is clear: use it or lose it.

    The influence of artificial illumination on nocturnal bird migration patterns.

Over the past two decades, GNSS sensors have found their way onto a wide variety of everyday devices. Today, GNSS-based navigation devices are standard in cars and every smartphone has a GNSS sensor as well as other sensors that can measure motion, such as accelerometers. Such sensors are used, for example, in the well-known fitness apps. In our group we use such sensor data, not only from smartphones, but also from special devices that are e.g. placed on animals in the wild to study their movements and thus their behavior.

While we focus our research primarily on the development of computational methods, we also collaborate closely with domain specialists from application sciences, most prominently gerontopsychology and health sciences, animal ecology, and transportation.
