Group for Engineering of Intelligent Systems and Technologies
Welcome to GEIST Research Group Webpage!
GEIST is a research group that includes number of senior and postdocoral researchers as well as PhD and master students. The work of the group is coordinated by Grzegorz J. Nalepa. GEIST researchers mostly work at the Jagiellonian University (UJ.edu.pl) as well as the AGH University of Science and Technology (AGH.edu.pl) in Kraków, Poland.
The group is active in the general area of intelligent systems. We work in Knowledge and Software Engineering, Business Intelligence, Ambient Intelligence and Affective Computing (see the group's research profile).
GEIST has been involved in number of projects. For more information see recent activity, publications and software.
The group teaches a number of courses. We also coordinated a novel master's track EIS (Engineering of Intelligent Systems).
