About Me

Alan Guedes
Computer Science Lecturer

I am Computer Science Lecturer since 2024 at University of Reading. Previously, I was a postdoc at University College London (UCL) in 2021, working on immersive media. I done my PhD in 2017 and worked as postdoc both at PUC-Rio (Brazil), contributing to Media Industry standards (ITU-T SG16, SBTVD) and working on video understating. Since my PhD, I am an active member on events related to the ACM SIG-Multimedia community (ACM MM, MMSys, IMX, QoMex, WebMedia). My research interests lie on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computer Vision, and GenAI methods. At UoR, I am applying such AI in multidisciplinary research in Digital Humanities (collaboration with MERL, Ure, Synthetic Media), and in climate (Meteorology) and biodiversity (collaboration with National History Museum).

I am actively looking for students to work with. Please access my Projects Openings (UG, MSc, PhD) page and contact me.
