Maitreyee Dey

Dr. Maitreyee Dey is a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science and Applied Computing. She founded and led the GENESIS Research Lab and is also the Deputy Director of Business Engagement at the Cyber Security Research Centre.

She received her Ph.D. degree from London South Bank University, United Kingdom. Her doctoral research formed part of Innovate UK's initiative on Machine Learning Techniques for Building Energy Management Systems under the guidance of Prof. Sandra Dudley. Her academic journey commenced with a Bachelor's degree (B. Tech) and culminated with a Master's degree (M. Tech) from West Bengal University of Technology, India.

In addition to her academic role, Dr. Dey plays a pivotal role as a Lead Machine Learning Engineer at Neuville Grid Data, and she holds an honorary position as a Visiting Fellow at London South Bank University.

Before joining LondonMet, she worked as a post-doctoral research fellow in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at London South Bank University, concurrently holding the role of Data Mining Lead at Neuville Grid Data. Her responsibilities primarily revolve around the application of machine learning and data mining techniques to analyze solar farm data for projects such as Access to Innovation (A2i) and Low Carbon London (LCLDN), funded by the EU Commission through its regional development fund. These projects are executed in collaboration with London South Bank University and Neuville Grid Data.

Dr. Dey's academic journey includes a three-year tenure as a research fellow at Jadavpur University, India, where she focused on automatic target recognition from U.S. Army FLIR imagery. This research endeavor received funding from "The Technical Quality Improvement Program (TEQIP) project" and "The Tata Consultancy Research Scholar Program (TCS-RSP)."

Throughout her career, she has actively contributed to the preparation and management of various successful grants, including those from the European Regional Development Programs, InnovateUK Smart Grant, EPSRC, KTP, Access-to-Innovation (A2i), and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.

Her research interests span a wide spectrum, encompassing machine learning, pattern recognition, human-computer interaction (HCI), big data analysis, deep learning, image processing, energy optimisation in smart buildings, renewable energy technology, power grid management, and computer-aided diagnosis using machine learning and artificial intelligence for applications in smart healthcare.

Teaching:

Dr. Dey is currently teaching in the following areas and conducts workshops while offering guidance to students in their project endeavours:

  • Smart Data Discovery
  • Programming for Data Analysis
  • Data Analysis and Visualization
  • Data Mining and Machine Learning
  • Data Warehousing and Big Data
  • Supervision of BSc/MSc Projects
