Senior🎓
Top SchoolDiptesh Kanojia is a Senior Lecturer and researcher in the UK with a decade of experience working at the intersection of natural language processing, computational linguistics, and applied AI. He has progressed from research internships at IIT Bombay to research engineering roles focused on WordNets, WSD and mobile deployments, and now leads people-centred AI research and teaching at the University of Surrey. His PhD work on distributional semantics for cognate detection and phylogenetics informs practical systems such as DiscrimiNET and translation aids he helped build, reflecting a blend of theoretical depth and applied system development. Comfortable both as a coder and systems administrator, he has hands-on experience deploying linguistic tools across Android, iOS and server environments. Beyond academia he pursues photography, signaling a creative eye that complements his empirical approach to language data. Colleagues describe him as a researcher who bridges linguistics and engineering to produce reproducible, user-facing NLP solutions.
