Dr. Alessandro Vinciarelli
Dr. Alessandro Vinciarelli is a Full Professor at the University of Glasgow, affiliated with both the School of Computing Science and the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology. As a member of the Social AI group, he collaborates with Tanaya Guha, Mary Ellen Foster, Mathieu Chollet, and Marwa Mahmoud. His primary research interest lies in Social Signal Processing (SSP), focusing on the analysis and synthesis of nonverbal behavior, such as facial expressions, gestures, and vocalizations in human-human and human-machine interactions. His work aims to infer psychological constructs like personality, conflict, and social roles from these cues. Professor [Your Name] currently leads significant projects, including the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Socially Intelligent Artificial Agents (SOCIAL) and the SONICOM project, which explores non-verbal communication in AR/VR environments. Previously, he coordinated the Social Signal Processing Network and has served as the principal investigator for over ten national projects in Switzerland and the UK. Additionally, he is a co-founder of Klewel, a knowledge management company, and acts as a scientific advisor for Substrata.
