Dr Daniel Mitchell

  • Research Associate (Autonomous Systems & Connectivity)

Biography

Dr. Daniel Mitchell is currently a Research Associate at the University of Glasgow. He received a PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) from the University of Glasgow in 2024 and was awarded the Sir Alan Stirling Brown Award by the School of Engineering. In 2024 he was also a Visiting Student Researcher at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). In 2020 he was awarded a Masters in EEE with distinction from Heriot-Watt University. His research focuses on symbiotic multi-robot fleets which seeks to address challenges in robotic teams connected with a human-in-the-loop operator. In addition to this, he develops a novel dual application sensing mechanism which uses non-destructive sensing for asset integrity inspection and foresight monitoring for robotic platforms. 

Dr. Mitchell is an award winning researcher where in 2024 he was named a Rising Star in Cyber Physical Systems by the University of Virginia and was also presented with the IET Rising Star Award at the IET Excellence and Innovation Awards. Since 2019 he has worked as part of MicroSense Technologies Ltd developing novel radar sensing which has seen collaborations of work alongside the Offshore Robotics for Certification of Assets (ORCA) Hub.
