Tanaya Guha

I am a full Professor in the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow, where I co-lead the Social AI group within the GIST research section. 

My research focuses on developing AI systems that can recognise, model and generate human emotion and behaviour combining deep learning, computer vision, and signal & speech processing. 

I received my PhD in Electrical & Computer Engineering from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, Canada in 2013.  After graduation, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at SAIL, University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, US. In 2015, I started my independent academic career in IIT Kanpur, India as an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering.  In 2018, I moved to the Department of Computer Science, University of Warwick.  Since 2021, I have been with the University of Glasgow. 

I have been fortunate to receive several awards for research, teaching, and service to the broader research community.  I am a Senior Member of IEEE, and I served in the Editorial Board of several journals including IEEE Transactions on Multimedia and Scientific Reports.  I was a Program Chair for BMVC 2024 and ACM ICMI 2025.  More information about my Editorial and Conference Committee services can be found here.
