Computer Science

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the Department of Computer Science, University of Exeter, where I lead the Multimodal Intelligence Lab. Our main research interest lies in Multimodal AI and its applications across online safety, healthcare, and the environment to help develop a greener, healthier, and fairer society underpinned by UoE’s 2030 strategy. 

 

Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, and was a member of the Oxford Biomedical Image Analysis (BioMedIA) group, advised by Prof Alison Noble and Dr Michael Suttie. I worked on an NIH-funded project, which is in conjunction with the Collaborative Initiative on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (CIFASD), to develop a fully automated, objective evaluation of facial features associated with FASD, utilizing 3D surface modelling, deep learning and shape analysis. I also worked on an ERC-funded project named Perception Ultrasound by Learning Sonographic Experience (PULSE), which aims to develop multi-modal machine learning and computer vision systems that can model the sonographer’s expertise to reduce the need for highly trained ultrasound operators.

 

I obtained a PhD degree in signal processing and machine learning at the School of Engineering, Newcastle University, and was a member of Signal Processing and AI research group, advised by Prof Jonathon Chambers and Dr Mohsen Naqvi. I worked on a DSTL & EPSRC-funded project ‘Signal Processing Solutions for the Networked Battlespace’ and was part of the LSSCN Consortium of University Defence Research Collaboration (UDRC), where I developed novel data association algorithms for multiple human tracking in video.

 

Highly self-motivated UG/MSc/PhD students, research fellows, and visiting students/scholars are welcome to join my team. Please drop me an email along with your CV and research plan if you are interested in working with me.
