Personal statement

I am an academic in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, and Fellow of the HEA. In particular, I am the Leonardo Lecturer on a joint programme (2023-2027) between Strathclyde and the global security company Leonardo UK Ltd.

Having completed a PhD in video analytics for smart surveillance, in the Centre for Signal & Image Processing (CeSIP), within the EEE Department at Strathclyde, my background and areas of expertise reside in signal, image and video processing. My current research interests are Neuromorphic Engineering, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, Digital Signal Processing and Embedded Systems.

I am Director of the Neuromorphic Sensor Signal Processing Lab, within the CeSIP group, supervising PhD students and PostDoc researchers working on various research projects and applications within these broad research areas.

I am Course Director of the MSc in Machine Learning and Deep Learning, which is a joint MSc programme between the EEE Department and the Computer and Information Sciences Department at Strathclyde.

And I am also Adviser of Studies for Year 1 of the undergraduate degree programme Computer and Electronic Systems, joint between EEE and CIS Departments.

Projects

Neuromorphic Sensor Fusion for Under Water Object Detection
Patil, Chaitanya (Principal Investigator) Di Caterina, Gaetano (Co-investigator)
The project aims to develop a protocol of multimodal data collection through neuromorphic sensors for underwater object detection.
The underwater object detection is very tricky phenomenon due to variability of environmental
changes like wave motion, salinity as well as visibility under water. Various sensors with different
ranges and properties can be deployed to overcome the adverse environmental conditions for object detection. However, increasing number of sensors increases the data processing power, noise and uncertainty in the process rendering the data fusion from these sensors difficult. The proven neuromorphic methods introduce a paradigm shift in handling these sensor uncertainties through sensor fusion and increasing the autonomy of the data management and decision making within the operating envelope of all the sensors used for the object detection task.
