Ian Reid

Prior to joining MBZUAI, Professor Reid was Head of School and Professor of Computer Science at the University of Adelaide in Australia. As well as, a fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE), the Australian Academy of Science (AAS) and a former Rhodes Scholar, Professor Reid held an Australian Laureate Fellowship from 2013–2018 in recognition of his contribution to building Australia’s internationally competitive research capacity.

Professor Reid was the Deputy Director of the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision from 2014–2021 and, in 2022, was awarded the Australian Computer Society’s Artificial Intelligence Distinguished Researcher Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to research in computer vision and machine learning. During his career, Professor Reid has secured more than US$20 million in funding as principal investigator, has registered three patents, is supervising nine Ph.D. students currently and has successfully supervised 29 doctoral and three postgraduate students to completion.
