Dr Chaitanya Kaul

  • Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (School of Computing Science)

Biography

I am a member of the Inference, Dynamics and Interaction Group (IDI) in the School of Computing Science and an affiliate member of the Extreme Light Group in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow. My work focuses on combining Machine Learning insights with applications in Signal Processing, Multimodal Sensor Networks, Computational Interaction and Medical Image Analysis.

I have previously worked as Research Associate from 2019-2024 and a Research Fellow from 2024-2025 in the IDI group under Prof. Roderick Murray-Smith. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from the University of York (2016-2019), MSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Coventry University (2015-2016) and BE in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2010-2014).
