Summary
Chirag Raman is a multidisciplinary researcher and engineer with 13 years of experience designing machine learning and computer-vision systems that sense and reason about social, multimodal human interactions. Currently Co-Lead for a robotic surgery use case at The Hybrid Intelligence Centre and an Assistant Professor at TU Delft, he builds human–machine coupling technologies that interpret surgeons’ verbal and nonverbal cues and the broader operating-room context. His background spans academia and industry—from PhD research and a Presence AI internship at Microsoft Research to multimodal systems work at CMU—combining practical product-facing engineering (iOS, Unity, C++) with deep research in interaction design and social psychology. He brings a rare blend of hands-on implementation (real-time capture platforms, synthetic face detail, distributed multimodal pipelines) and pedagogical experience training the next generation of practitioners. Based in Delft, he applies game-engine and graphics techniques to real-world sensing problems, reflecting an enduring interest in tangible, embodied interaction across virtual and surgical domains.
