Jitesh Narendra Joshi
Researcher, PhD Student @ University College London.
Jitesh specialises in machine learning, computer vision and system engineering. In the past 12 years, he has worked both at research institutes and industry, with roles involving architecting technical solutions, leading R&D teams as well as project management and client communications.
Currently, Jitesh is pursuing PhD in Computer Science at UCL Interaction Centre (UCLIC). He is supervised by Dr. Youngjun Cho and Prof. Nadia Berthouze, and supported by the Overseas Research Scholarship and the Graduate Research Scholarship. At UCLIC, Jitesh’s research focuses on developing novel computational framework for contactless physiological monitoring using thermal infrared imaging, with an objective to make the contactless extraction of physiological signals reliable in real-world scenarios.
He also serves as a Technical Specialist (consultant) at Tata Elxsi in the Healthcare and Life Science Business Unit where he is involved in various R&D projects. Additionally, he enjoys supporting teaching activities as a Post Graduate Teaching Assistant for various Computer Science and Human Computer Interaction modules at UCL.
Academically, he completed undergrad degree with major in Electronics and Communication Engineering at Nirma University, Ahmedabad in 2008 and further graduated with MSc in Cognitive Systems and Interactive Media at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona in 2011.
