The AFAR Lab’s research interests are in the areas of affective computing and social signal processing that lie at the crossroad of multiple disciplines including, computer vision, signal processing, machine learning, multimodal interaction and human-robot interaction.
My current research vision is to embrace the challenges present in the area of health and empower the lives of people through creating socio-emotionally intelligent technology. This vision is currently supported by three new projects funded by prestigious and competitive grants via the WorkingAge Project funded by the EU H2020 Programme (2019–2021), the EPSRC Fellowship Programme (2019–2024) and the Turing Fellowship Programme (2019-2021).

I am a PhD student (2020 – ) working in the Affective Intelligence and Robotics Lab, under the supervision of Dr Hatice Gunes. My research focuses on creating robots for human wellbeing. I work together with experts from different disciplines (such as psychology and computing), as well as prospective users of such robots. My research interests include Human-Robot Interaction, Social Robotics, Affective Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Design Research, Participatory Design, and User Experience. I am funded by the Osk. Huttunen foundation and the EPSRC.
I am a first year PhD student at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge. I completed my masters in Biomedical Engineering from the National University of Singapore. My research interests include human-robot interaction, cognitive computing and artificial intelligence.
I am a diligent and determined third-year Digital Marketing Ph.D. student, studying for my doctoral degree at Institute for Digital Technologies, at Loughborough University, London campus. Currently I am a visiting PhD student at the AFAR lab, Department of Computer Science and Technology, University of Cambridge.

MPhil student funded by DeepMind Cambridge Scholarship, University of Cambridge, Oct 2021 - Jun 2022
Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge. ML for analysing expressions in sculptures
Postdoctoral researcher working on the WorkingAge Project
I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Computer Science and Technology, University of Cambridge. I received her Ph.D. from NUS Graduate School of Integrative Sciences and Engineering at the National University of Singapore where I studied human attention and trust during human interactions with autonomous agents. My research interests include human-robot interaction, affective computing, machine learning and cognitive neuroscience.
I am an MPhil student in the Affective Intelligence and Robotics Lab, where I am focusing my MPhil thesis on combining continual learning and federated learning for personalized, privacy-preserving human-robot interaction. Previously, I graduated from the University of Missouri with degrees in computer science and psychology.
My name is Millie and I am an MPhil student in the AFAR group. In my work I am most interested in using computer vision and machine learning techniques to improve existing methods social robotics and pro-social computing. I am a previous recipient of the Google Women Techmakers Scholarship, and am able to study at Cambridge thanks to the support of DeepMind. When I'm not working I can usually be found at the ice rink or reading a good book!
Hi! My name is Samuil. I have recently graduated from UCL with BSc Computer Science. I am currently studying towards an MPhil Advanced Computer Science here at Cambridge where I am researching resource efficiency in continual learning
