Dr Andras Gyorgy and Dr Krystian Mikolajczyk are the newest members of the Intelligent Systems and Networks group, Dept Electrical & Electronic Eng

Dr András György and Dr Krystian Mikolajczyk have recently joined the Intelligent Systems and Networks Group in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Andras joins us as Senior Lecturer, and Krystian is a Reader in Computer Vision. 

András’s research interests include machine learning, adaptive systems, statistical learning theory, information theory, and optimization. He received the Gyula Farkas prize of the János Bolyai Mathematical Society in 2001 and the Academic Golden Ring of the President of the Hungarian Republic in 2003.

András graduated with a MEng in Technical Informatics from the Technical University of Budapest in 1999, and a MEng in Mathematics and Engineering from Queen's University, Kingston, Canada in 2001.  He received his PhD in Technical Informatics from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in 2003.

After his PhD, and until 2011 András was a senior researcher and then Head of the Machine Learning research group at the Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Between 2003 and 2004 he was also a NATO Science Fellow in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Queen's University, Canada. He also held a part-time research position at GusGus Capital Llc., Budapest for five years from 2006. Between 2012 until 2015 he was a researcher in the Department of Computing Science, University of Alberta, Canada.

Krystian’s main area of expertise is in image and video recognition, in particular in problems related to image representation and learning. He has participated in a number of EU and UK projects in the area of image and video analysis. He has published in leading journals on computer vision, pattern recognition and machine learning, and has served in various roles at major international conferences, co-chairing the British Machine Vision Conference in 2012 and the IEEE International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal-Based Surveillance in 2013. In 2014 Krystian received the Longuet-Higgins Prize awarded by the Technical Committee on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence of the IEEE Computer Society.
Krystian did his undergraduate study at the University of Science and Technology (AGH) in Krakow, Poland. He completed his PhD at the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INP), France, with an internship at the University of British Columbia, Canada. He then worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (INRIA) in Grenoble, Oxford University and the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, before joining the University of Surrey in 2005 as a lecturer.
