Tanaya Guha

I am a Senior Lecturer of Computing Science at University of Glasgow (UofG), where I am a founding member of the Social AI group with the GIST research section. 

My research focuses on developing socially intelligent systems that can recognize, model and generate human behaviour in social context 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 in 2013. After graduation, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at SAIL, University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles. In 2015, I joined 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 a Senior Lecturer at UofG. 

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 serve(d) 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.
