DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* Computing systems have the potential to significan
 tly enhance human health\, well-being\, and productivity through the utili
 zation of sensor data garnered from personal devices. This data\, encompas
 sing vital physiological metrics such as heart rate and electrodermal acti
 vity\, is processed to provide helpful feedback to the user\, spanning fro
 m passive notifications and sophisticated data visualizations to proactive
  biofeedback mechanisms. The domain of personal informatics systems\, unde
 rpinned by physiological sensing\, has witnessed substantial advancement i
 n recent years\, and its applications are now embodied in various commerci
 al products. However\, pivotal challenges persist unresolved. This talk de
 lves into the multifaceted nature of physiological sensing\, examining its
  successful applications\, the limitations that still hinder its full-fled
 ged use into real-world systems\, and the ethical issues it raises.\n \n\n
 \n*Biography:* Silvia Santini is a Professor at the Faculty of Informatics
  of the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) in Lugano\, Switzerland.
  She previously held appointments as Assistant Professor at TU Darmstadt a
 nd as Associate Professor TU Dresden\, Germany\, as well as senior researc
 her at ETH Zurich\, Switzerland. She holds a master’s degree (with honor
 s) in telecommunication engineering from the Sapienza University of Rome a
 nd a PhD in Computer Science from ETH Zurich. Silvia’s research focus is
  on mobile and wearable computing and in particular on the design of novel
  models and systems for modelling human behavior and supporting well-being
  and productivity at work. Silvia is one of the founding Editors and past 
 Editor-in-Chief of the Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive\, Mobile\, We
 arable and Ubiquitous Computing Technologies (PACM IMWUT)\, the leading jo
 urnal for research on ubiquitous and wearable computing systems. She is a 
 member of the Steering Committee of the UbiComp conference series and has 
 served on the Technical Program Committees of several leading venues in th
 e fields of mobile computing\, ubiquitous and wearable computing\, interne
 t of things and cyber-physical systems\, including MobiSys\, SenSys\, IPSN
 \, InfoCom\, PerCom\, and more.
