Iain Haughton

Lead Research Scientist at the Dyson AI Lab, where I am part of a team focused on data-driven machine learning.

With over seven years of experience in algorithm development, data analysis, and machine learning across physics, medicine, and robotics, I have a strong background in creating and evaluating innovative ML solutions.

My skills in AI were further honed during a two-year secondment to Imperial College, where I collaborated closely with Andrew Davison and his team.

Recently, I initiated an AI Lab for Dyson, focussing on pioneering machine learning technologies applied to robotics.
