Tanaya Guha

I am a Professor of Affective & Behavioural Computing at the University of Glasgow, where I co-lead the Social AI group.  

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. 

Before joining Glasgow in 2021, I worked at University of Warwick and IIT Kanpur as Associate/Assistant Professor.  Earlier, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Southern California (USC). I received my PhD in Electrical & Computer Engineering from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver in 2013. 

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