Institute Director
Professor Iain Styles is a computer scientist whose research focusses on the development of computational tools that help us to understand the location, role and function of biological molecules such as proteins and lipids in the body. He is especially interested in developing techniques for understanding image data from techniques such as optical microscopy and mass spectrometry imaging.
Iain works in close collaboration with scientists from chemistry, biology, medicine, and other disciplines to develop a deep understanding of the problem that he uses to develop the analysis.
Iain is the University academic lead for the partnership with the Alan Turing Institute, where he co-chairs the Training Steering Group. He is also the Director of the EPSRC-funded Baskerville Tier 2 High Performance Computing facility.
Turing Fellows
Since joining the Turing Institute in 2018, the University's Turing Fellows have been working on data science and AI projects covering a wide variety of academic themes and practical applications.
