Marta is a close collaborator of the Behaviour Science team in the Human Behaviour Change Project, being involved in the development of the BCI Ontology. Her current project focuses on the development of ontologies of personalization, tailoring and adaptation. This work is being developed in collaboration with: 1) IBM-Research Ireland, with whom Marta is exploring how the behaviour change ontologies can be used to classify large datasets of digital data; and 2) EUH2020 ProACT project (http://proact2020.eu/), in which Marta is exploring how an ontology of personalization can help developing individualized goal recommendation for physical activity and multiple health behaviours.
