Oya Celiktutan is a Reader (Associate Professor) at King’s College London in the Department of Engineering, leading the Social AI & Robotics (SAIR) Lab within the Centre for Robotics Research. She holds a BSc in Electronics Engineering from Uludag University, and an MSc and PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bogazici University, Turkey. Her doctoral work included a visiting research period at the National Institute of Applied Sciences in Lyon, France. She has held postdoctoral positions at Queen Mary University London, the University of Cambridge, and Imperial College London before joining King’s College in 2018. Her research focuses on multimodal machine learning for autonomous agents, addressing challenges in human-robot interaction, social awareness, and navigation. Key areas include human behavior analysis, generative models, and continual learning. Her work is supported by EPSRC, The Royal Society, EU Horizon, and industry partners like Toyota and NVIDIA. Notable awards include the EPSRC New Investigator Award (2021) and a Best Paper Award at IEEE Ro-Man 2022. Dr. Celiktutan’s lab explores socially assistive robotics, extended reality systems, and ethical AI. Recent projects include the LISI initiative to enable robots to learn social interactions from human-human data and the CL-HRI project advancing continual learning in human-centric robotics. Her research has led to datasets like MHHRI and RICA, and collaborations with companies like SoftBank Robotics. She teaches modules on Sensing and Perception, and Sensors and Actuators, emphasizing practical applications in robotics and mechatronics. Current research interests span socially-aware navigation, algorithmic fairness, and multimodal data fusion for robotics in healthcare and urban environments.
