Biography
I am a Lecturer (US equivalent Assistant Professor) in the Natural and Computing School of the University of Aberdeen and head of the Multimodal Learning Lab. My research interests are machine learning, computer vision, and medical image analysis.
Before this, I was a Senior Research Fellow at the Computer Science Department of University College London, UK, till December 2022. I also worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Imperial College London, UK, from December 2017 to July 2021. I obtained a PhD in Computer Science from Universite de Caen, France.
Potential PhD candidates: If you are interested in doing PhD at the University of Aberdeen, UK, please get in touch with me at binod.bhattarai@abdn.ac.uk
