About

I’m Dr. Santosh Yadav, Co-Founder & CTO at BigLook — Transforming the art world with actionable AI. At BigLook, we build AI-powered tools for galleries, museums, auction houses, wealth managers, and institutional collectors, helping them streamline their daily operations. My expertise spans Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and Multimodal AI, with a research background in human motion, behaviour understanding, and 3D modelling. I earned my Ph.D. in Unobtrusive Multimodal Human Activity Recognition (AcSIR, India) and have held roles as Senior Data Scientist (WISAR, ATU Donegal), Senior AI Scientist (CeADAR, Dublin), and Postdoctoral Researcher (NUI Galway). I’m passionate about translating research into real-world impact — building intelligent, efficient, and accessible AI systems for the art market and beyond. Let’s connect to explore collaborations, research, or partnerships in AI, art, and innovation.
