Paolo Burelli is an associate professor and Head of the ITU brAIn lab at the IT University of Copenhagen with 12 years of experience combining academic research and applied data science. He leads interdisciplinary teams investigating computational models of emotion, cognition and behaviour in digital environments, with projects using machine learning to model difficulty, challenge, learning and visual perception. His background spans academia and industry—ranging from PhD work on autonomous camera control and player modelling to advising game studios on ML-driven analytics and design. Paolo’s work bridges human–computer interaction, AI and computer graphics, and he often blends optimisation with learning methods to deliver real-time, interactive systems. Based in Copenhagen, he is affiliated with multiple centers (Center for Digital Play, Creative AI Lab, Pioneer Center for AI) that reflect his focus on creative applications of AI. An early developer-entrepreneur with embedded Linux and J2ME experience, he brings practical systems know-how to research-led innovation.
