Anastasiia Breskina

About

I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, and a member of VisLab (ISR-Lisboa), supervised by Prof. Alexandre Bernardino and Prof. Plinio Moreno.
My research models a person’s non-verbal behaviour over time from camera input (facial Action Units, head pose and gaze) while they interact with a screen or system. Current approaches analyse isolated frames, perform unevenly across demographic groups, and mistake natural movement for meaningful signal. My work covers an AU taxonomy for temporal annotation, a demographically diverse behavioural video dataset, and a temporal model evaluated for fairness across groups, within a privacy-conscious, GDPR-aligned design. Candidate applications include remote assessment, telemedicine and human–robot interaction.
