General information
In 1995 Mihaela Ungureanu received the BSc degree in electrical engineering from the Politehnica University of Bucharest, ranking the first. In 1996 she received the MSc degree in Computer Science from the same university. In 1997 she graduated the Academy of Economic Studies Bucharest, her diploma work about the financial prediction using neural networks receiving the highest distinction. In 2002 she obtained the PhD title, with the distinction MAGNA CUM LAUDAE.

In 2006 she received a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship (EUROPEAN COMMISSION ) at the Institute of Medical Statistics and Information Documentation, Friedrich Schiller University, Germany. The research project, Non-linear analysis of dynamic interactions between brain areas, was developed from February 2007 to February 2008, under the supervision of Prof. Herbert Wiite.

In 2006 she received the Fulbright Senior Research Award (The Fulbright Commission ) at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, John Hopkins University. The research project, EEG Feature Extraction for Motor Imagery, was developed in US in 2006, under the supervision of Prof. Nitish Thakor.

In 2005 she received a DFG research project (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft - German Research Foundation) at the University of the German Armed Forces Munich, Germany. The research project, Fetal ECG extraction from abdominal recordings: evaluation of the Event-Synchronous-Canceller approach, was developed in 2006 together with The Technical University of Eindhoven and Maxima Medisch Centrum, Veldhoven, The Netherlands, under the supervision of Prof. Werner Wolf.

In 2004 she received a NWO research fellowship (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek - The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research) at the The Technical University of Eindhoven. The research project, Detection and Analysis of Diaphragmatic EMG Signals in Adults and Neonates, was developed with the support of Maxima Medisch Centrum, Veldhoven, The Netherlands, under the supervision of Prof. Jan Bergmans.

In 2003 she received a DAAD postdoctoral fellowship (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst - German Academic Exchange Service) at the University of the German Armed Forces Munich, Germany. The research project, Respiration Monitoring by EMG and ECG Analysis, was developed together with ASKLEPIOS Medical Center of Intensive and Respiration Medicine in Gauting/Munich, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Werner Wolf.

Her research interests are signal processing (especially applied in biomedical field), neural networks, programming. She is with the Signal Processing Group and with the Medical Electronics and Computing Group at Department of Applied Electronics and Information Engineering.
