Professor of Computer Science and Society
My research specialisation is in Computational Linguistics and Data Science, with a focus on communicating complex data and making information and data (particularly telemetric data) accessible through text analytics, summarisation, reformulation and natural language generation. I have a particular interest in Citizen Science, and in particular, technologies that break down the divide between professional scientists and lay public and facilitate the meaningful engagement of the public with science.
<p>Siddharthan's research specialisations are in Citizen Science, Computational Linguistics and Data Science, with a focus on communicating complex data and making information and data (particularly telemetric data) accessible through text analytics, summarisation, reformulation and natural language generation. He has a particular interest in Citizen Science, and in particular, technologies that break down the divide between professional scientists and lay public and facilitate the meaningful engagement of the public with science. His current projects investigate science learning within citizen science projects and how citizens can learn alongside artificial intelligence in these contexts.

<p>Dr. Advaith Siddharthan, a Reader at KMi, read Physics at the University of Delhi, and Computer Science at the University of Cambridge before gained his PhD in Computational Linguistics at the University of Cambridge (2003). After Postdoctoral research at Columbia University and the University of Cambridge, he took up his first faculty position at the University of Aberdeen in 2009 before joining the Open University’s Knowledge Media Institute in 2017 as a Reader covering Citizen Science and Computational Linguistics. Advaith has over 80 peer-reviewed publications. He has been PI on grants from the EPSRC, NERC and ESRC, Co-I on grants from EPSRC, H2020 and NERC and Associate-I in UoA’s RCUK funded Digital Economy hub (2011-15,£12M). Advaith is a member of the EPSRC College, Association for Computational Machinery (ACM) and Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL).</p>
