Andrew Markham (he/him)

I am a Professor of Computer Science and I work on sensors, signal processing (machine learning/AI) and systems. My research revolves around making machines better understand the physical world. I work within the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) theme in Computer Science, and lead a large group of researchers and students working across a broad and diverse area. Recent projects include how to track and localize people, animals and objects, particularly in environments where technologies like GPS fail, such as underground or indoors. This has led to the exploration of many different sensing modalities, such as mmWave Radar, Thermal Imaging, Acoustics, Lidar etc. My work is highly cross-disciplinary and I collaborate with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines. I am passionate about using technology to answer questions that were previously impossible - such as tracking badgers underground in 3D using low-frequency magneto-inductive positioning, or enabling large scale individual tracking of lion and elephant in Africa using custom acoustic sensors.
