Profile
Biography
Dr. Sangeet Saha is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering at the University of Essex. His research addresses key challenges in embedded systems, spanning real-time scheduling (FPGAs, multicore systems), fault tolerance, energy-efficient heterogeneous computing for edge AI, and embedded device cybersecurity. A notable outcome is the FORENSIC technology (https://iuk-business-connect.org.uk/projects/cyberasap/forensic/), funded by Innovate UK's CyberASAP program and showcased at the National Cyber Security Centre's flagship event, CYBER UK 2025. Dr. Saha's research has attracted funding from The Royal Society, Innovate UK (UKRI), and the University of Essex Knowledge Exchange Fund. He publishes in leading venues, including IEEE/ACM Transactions journals and premier conferences such as DAC and CODES+ISSS.
