Meet some of the innovative people advancing research both in and with artificial intelligence at King's College London.
For Georgia Richards, research begins with what we don’t know. Throughout her career, she has sought out data that falls through the gaps, asking what it might reveal about where systems are failing and, ultimately, how lives could be saved. AI+ Senior Fellow Dr Georgia Richards is turning hidden data into insights that could prevent future deaths.

In a radar satellite image, a landslide can be remarkably difficult to identify by eye. The microwave signal reflects back as noise, undifferentiated and unreadable to the human eye. Moreso, a slope can deform slowly for years before catastrophic failure. AI+ Senior Fellow Dr Lorenzo Nava is building the systems that catch it before that day arrives.

For AI+ Senior Fellow Dr Richard Rosch, the most interesting questions in neuroscience are often the hardest to answer. How do tiny changes in individual brain cells lead to the complex patterns of activity that shape our thoughts, behaviour and development? And what happens when those patterns break down?

Somewhere between 40 and 60 percent of the animals living in the deep ocean have never been seen, described, or named. We have no idea who they are. And the AI systems we're building to find them are being trained on a world that's already disappearing. Learn about what Dr Eric Orenstein's focus as an AI+ Senior Fellow at King's is.

By the time a disease shows symptoms, it may have been developing silently for years. Dr Liane dos Santos Canas wants to change that. As an AI+ Senior Fellow at King's College London, she's building models that track how individual bodies age over time, aiming to catch risk early enough to act before irreversible damage occurs.

Dr Christopher Banerji is working to ensure artificial intelligence (AI) serves rather than replaces human expertise in healthcare, building systems designed to work alongside clinicians in high-stakes decision-making.

Dr Robert Laidlow is exploring what happens when we stop trying to make AI sound human and start discovering what music can become when we embrace the fundamentally alien ways that machines hear, process, and create sound.

Dr Oya Çeliktutan builds the kind of robots we want to be around: robots that can read social cues, respond appropriately, and stay calm under pressure.

Dr Daniel Chávez Heras teaches machines to watch films – not to replace human viewers, but to help archives, researchers and artists understand screen culture in new ways.

Professor Elena Simperl is helping shape how AI systems can be grounded in human knowledge in order for them to become more transparent, safer and reliable to all.

Learning how to embrace technology without stemming creative control.
Nearly two decades ago Professor Oguz A. Acar was working as a brand manager for an alcoholic beverage company in his native country Türkiye. A far cry from his current role at King’s Business School, perhaps, but an experience that helped shape the career path he still follows today.

Turning a childhood love of gaming into a lifelong career in AI.
Scents, soundtracks, and souvenirs; each of these things have a way of triggering that fuzzy nostalgic feeling that takes you right back to the place you were when you first encountered it. For Dr Mike Cook, that sense of reminiscence comes in the form of classic 1990s video games.
