Profile
Biography
Dr. Anirban Chowdhury is a Lecturer in Neural Engineering and Robotics, School of ComputerScience and Electronic Engineering (CSEE), University if 糖心Vlog (UoE) and a member of the Brain-computer interface and Neural Engineering (BCI-NE) Group, and Robotics Group at 糖心Vlog. Prior to the joining at UoE Anirban was a postdoctoral Research Associate at the Northern Ireland Functional Brain Mapping Facility at Ulster University, Northern Ireland, UK. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechatronics from the Centre for Mechatronics at IIT Kanpur, India, M. Tech in Mechatronics from the School of Mechatronics and Robotics at IIEST, Shibpur, India, and B. Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Kalyani Govt. Engineering College, India. He has contributed to two UK-India thematic partnership projects funded by the British Council, UK, and Department of Science and technology in India under grant UKIERI-DST-2013-14/126, DST-UKIERI-2016-17-0128, and DST-UKIERI2016-17-0128. He has also led the successful completion of two clinical trials on post-stroke robot-assisted neuro-rehabilitation, one in India (CTRI/2018/05/013876) and the other in the UK (ISRCTN1313909). His currentresearch interests are in the areas of robotic rehabilitation, brain-computerinterfaces, assistive technologies, human-robot co-operation, and autonomousmobile robotics. He has published several journal papers in the top journals of the field, including transactions and journals of the IEEE and Elsevier.
