Armands Ancāns started working at the Institute of Electronics and Computer Science in 2015. He graduated from Riga Technical University, where he obtained a PhD degree in Engineering Sciences and Technologies in 2023.
Armands conducts research and development in the field of wearable sensor systems, with a focus on energy efficiency, improving enhancing signal quality, and processing sensor data to obtain practical indicators that are usable by technology users – doctors/trainers/patients. One of his most significant achievements is the development of the SCAPE-IF sensor clothing for physical activity monitoring and the commercialization of this technology – a startup company acquired the license. In his free time, Armands enjoys hiking in the mountains.
