University of CambridgeAbout
Georgios Rizos is a Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge's Department of Computer Science and Technology within the School of Technology. He holds positions as Postdoctoral Associate at Jesus College and Research Associate at the Mobile Systems Research Laboratory under Dr. Cecilia Mascolo. His academic journey includes a PhD in Computing from Imperial College London (completed 2022), MSc with distinction in Biomedical Engineering, and MEng in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
His research focuses on uncertainty-aware deep learning with applications spanning healthcare diagnostics, bioacoustics, and social media analysis. Key specializations include robust audio representation learning for mobile-based diagnostics, multimodal uncertainty quantification, and responsible AI development. His work bridges theoretical machine learning advancements with real-world implementations in medical and environmental contexts.
Dr. Rizos' publication portfolio demonstrates consistent contributions to top venues including Interspeech, ICASSP, ACL, and IEEE journals. His research shows clear evolution from social network analysis toward healthcare-focused audio modeling, with growing emphasis on uncertainty quantification across modalities. Recent work integrates sonification techniques for explainable AI and develops novel methods for wildlife vocalization detection in natural habitats.
