Summary
Nitesh Bhatia is a Lead Data Visualisation Developer and Sr Scientist based in Oxford, blending 15+ years of cross-sector experience to create immersive, perceptually optimal visualisations for fusion research and digital engineering. At UKAEA he architects digital-twin and HPC-driven rendering pipelines that fuse multiphysics simulations, diagnostics and large heterogeneous datasets into interactive, photoreal environments for scientists, operators and the public. His prior work at Imperial College combined VR, eye-tracking and EEG to measure cognitive engagement and build multisensory learning tools for complex fluid dynamics, reflecting a rare mix of human-centred design and rigorous experimental evaluation. He has built cloud XR streaming platforms and real-time AR/VR systems in industry and co-founded student-focused social ventures early in his career, showing an entrepreneurial bent alongside deep research credentials. Holding a PhD from IISc in human perception and virtual human modelling, he is fascinated by accessibility and inclusive design in scientific computing and—outside work—documents human interactions through monochrome photography and a personal blog.
