Praveen Selvaraj is a co-founder and AI researcher with 11 years of experience building perception and synthetic-data systems for real-world robotics and digital ID applications. He moved from academic work at The Alan Turing Institute—where he developed diffusion models for large graph generation and novel privacy metrics for synthetic face datasets—to founding Safe Robotics, which focuses on AI-enabled safety and observability for deployed robots. His background spans end-to-end engineering (from Mask R-CNN vision engines and service-robot grasping modules to full-stack backend work) and practical product delivery across startups and research labs. Passionate about bringing computation off-screen, he prototypes robotics and animatronics projects in his spare time, blending hands-on hardware skills with advanced ML. Based in London, he combines publication-grade research with founder-level execution, including creating large, demographically balanced synthetic biometric datasets to tackle bias in face recognition.
