Dr. Saugat Bhattacharyya is currently a Lecturer in the School of Computing, Engineering & Intelligent Systems. He obtained his Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering from West Bengal University of Technology, India in the year 2009 followed by Master of Engineering Degree in Biomedical Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India in the year 2011. He was awarded his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India in the year 2015. During his PhD he also visited the University of Montpellier, France in 2014-2015 as part of the Erasmus Mundus-Svaagata Project Fellowship in 2014. Subsequently, he joined the BCI-LIFT project with the CAMIN project team in INRIA Sophia-Antipolis, Montpellier, France as a post-doctoral researcher at the end of 2015. Later, he worked in the Decision-Making Lab, BCI-NE Group, School of Computer Science & Electronics Engineering, University of Essex as a Senior Research Officer from July 2017 to April 2020.

 

His research interests are in the area of Cognitive Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and its application in Human-Machine Interaction and Neuro-Rehabilitation. He has experience

in developing intelligent neuro-technologies to improve rehabilitation and decision making. His research is primarily focussed on developing brain-computer interfacing systems based on robust signal processing, quantitative and machine learning algorithms to draw inference into an users' state of mind through their neural and other physiological signals.
