معرفی
Professor Georgios Leontidis is a Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Aberdeen, where he serves as the Interdisciplinary Institute Director for AI & Big Data and co-Director of the £10.9M UKRI AI CDT SUSTAIN. He is a member of the ELLIS Society and a Turing Academic Liaison, actively shaping national and international AI research agendas.
His research expertise lies at the intersection of theoretical and applied machine learning, with key interests in capsule networks, domain adaptation, self-supervised learning, federated learning, and generative AI. His work addresses real-world challenges in environmental monitoring, agrifood sustainability, industrial systems, healthcare, and space science.
The recent publications highlight a strong trend in developing novel AI architectures (e.g., OmniNet, Masked Capsule Autoencoders), advancing federated and self-supervised learning methods, and applying AI to sustainability (e.g., greenhouse gas accounting, yield forecasting) and scientific discovery (e.g., lunar radar analysis). His work increasingly integrates ethics, policy, and human-AI interaction, as seen in studies on bias amplification and AI copyright.
