The Alan Turing Institute, UK’s national institute for data science and artificial intelligence has named two Indian origin researchers in its latest cohort of Turing Fellows.
As Turing fellows, Jatinder Singh and Subramanian Ramamoorthy will contribute to new ideas and grow the UK's data science and AI ecosystem. The fellowship is established researchers on the cusp of becoming global leaders.
Singh is a research fellow at the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge. He leads the newly formed compliant and accountable system research group and is also a co-investigator of the Microsoft cloud computing research center, a tech-legal collaboration with QMUL.
Singh also co-chairs the Cambridge Trust and Technology initiative, which drives research exploring the dynamics of trust and distrust concerning internet technologies, society, and power. He is active in the tech-policy space, serving on advisory councils for the UK Government and financial conduct authority.
