30 machine learning professors in the United Kingdom, at 15 universities. The most represented are University of Oxford, University College London and University of Cambridge. 9 of them are verified faculty: their current appointment was confirmed against their own university's pages or a current faculty record in ORCID, and they are listed first.
The list is built from open publication data (OpenAlex and ORCID), the same data ProfScout uses in the app: actively publishing faculty at the largest research universities in the United Kingdom whose recent work sits in machine learning. Retired, trainee and staff-scientist records are filtered out where the public record identifies them. It is not a prestige ranking: professors are listed by how prominently machine learning figures in their published work, verified faculty first. Reply-fit scores, which weigh how likely each professor is to answer a student's email, are computed for your own profile inside ProfScout. Updated September 2026; the list is rebuilt from the open record a few times a year.

Get professors matched to your own background
ProfScout reads your profile or résumé and ranks professors by fit and reply-likelihood, with verified email addresses. Free to start.
From the public publication record. Each person here is an active researcher at one of the largest research universities in the United Kingdom, publishing recently in machine learning, and not flagged by the public record as retired, in training, or in a staff role. "Verified faculty" means ProfScout matched the professor to a faculty page on their own university's site or to a current faculty appointment in ORCID.
Can I get their email addresses?
Yes. Open a professor in ProfScout and you see a verified address where one exists in the published record, their recent papers, and a reply-fit score for your own profile. Every account gets 3 professor unlocks free; see pricing for unlimited access.
