Avinash Singh

Dr. Avinash Singh is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Computer Science at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia. He serves as co-chair of the IEEE Neuroethics Framework for the Workplace, sponsored by IEEE Brain, and is a member of the IEEE Standards Committee on Unifying Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). He also serves as an expert advisor for UNICEF and The Centre of Neurotechnology and Law, UK.

Dr. Singh completed his PhD in Computer Science in 2019 at UTS, collaborating with the Technical University of Berlin, Germany, the University of California San Diego, USA, and the US Army Research Lab. Prior to his doctorate, he earned a Master's in Software Systems from Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, India, and earlier degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics from Indian institutions.

Working at the intersection of machine learning, cognitive neuroscience, and mixed-reality, Dr. Singh focuses on designing and developing real-world neuroadaptive BCI systems. His research integrates AI technologies with cognitive neuroscience to explore cognitive functions, discover relationships between brain dynamics, evaluate everyday interactions, and develop robust next-generation neuroadaptive BCIs. His work spans areas including neuroadaptive BCI applications for improving interpersonal communication, sensory augmentation for blind individuals, and dream reconstruction from brain signals.

Analysis of Dr. Singh's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on developing novel EEG signal processing techniques, creating neuroadaptive interfaces, and applying BCI technology to real-world problems. His work shows increasing integration of deep learning with neuroscience, particularly in the context of cognitive conflict detection, spatial navigation, and assistive technologies for the visually impaired. The research demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections across computer science, neuroscience, and human-computer interaction.

Dr. Singh actively supervises PhD students and has received multiple research grants, including ARC Linkage Projects and NHMRC Ideas Grants. His funded research spans neuro-AI for personalized image generation, sensory augmentation for blind individuals, and ethical frameworks for BCI technology. He leads the UTSxDream Recording project (formerly DreamMachine) and collaborates with international institutions on BCI standardization efforts.

Dr. Singh founded the India Future Society, a think tank focused on transhumanism, and actively advocates for the ethical development of neurotechnology. His work bridges academic research with practical applications in assistive technology, human-robot collaboration, and spatial navigation systems.
