Education and early life[edit]

Somdip Dey completed his BSc degree in Computer Science from St. Xavier's College, Kolkata, India, in 2012. He then went on to complete his MSc degree in Advanced Computer Science from the University of Manchester in 2014. In 2023, he completed his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Essex.[1]

Career[edit]

Somdip Dey began his career at Samsung Electronics, where he collaborated with the University of Essex to develop a machine learning algorithm that optimizes battery consumption in smartphones based on user interactions. This work was presented at the DATE 2020 conference.[2] He later joined the National Centre for Nuclear Robotics, where he co-developed SoCodeCNN, a methodology that bridges natural language processing and computer vision using convolutional neural networks to increase the resilience of electronic systems against radiation damage. The research team behind SoCodeCNN included Dey, Klaus McDonald-Maier, Amit Kumar Singh, and Dilip Kumar Prasad. The paper on SoCodeCNN was highlighted as the most popular paper in the IEEE Access journal after publication.[3] In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dey co-developed the Nosh app, a mobile application that reduces food waste in households using embedded machine learning. Due to the app's popularity, Dey and computer engineer Suman Saha co-founded Nosh Technologies, a deep tech company focused on developing algorithms and technologies to reduce food waste.[4]

Dey is a clinical professor of AI and machine learning at Woxsen University,[5] a lecturer of Data Science at York St John University,[6] and a lecturer of Computer Science at the University of Essex.[7]

Dey writes a column titled "A Window to the Tech World" for the Times of India and contributes to publications such as the Free Press Journal, The Conversation, and Forbes Technology Council. In 2020, He gave a TEDx talk at Colchester, UK, with the title "Are We Developing Artificial Intelligence to Support Humanity?".[8]
