Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBruna Pearson is a lecturer and AI/robotics specialist with a decade of experience bridging academic research and industry R&D in autonomous navigation, multispectral sensor fusion, and computer vision. She holds a PhD-level background in mechatronics and robotic sensing from Durham University and has led applied ML projects at HORIBA MIRA and as a lead computer vision engineer, delivering simulated environments and digital twins for robust autonomy testing. At GBS she now shapes curricula and assessment for Emerging Technologies, IoT and Cybersecurity while mentoring students and assessing Oxford’s AI programme, blending hands-on technical depth with strong course design and project leadership. An Intel AI Ambassador with multiple presentations at major conferences, she pairs theoretical rigour with practical impact—her research has been applied to UAV mapping for conservation, agriculture and search-and-rescue. Less obvious: she combines product management and e-learning experience to reduce operational costs and scale education, having built integrated VoIP/e-learning systems and led award-winning student projects.
