¶Every once in a while, a new technology, an old problem, and a big idea turn into an innovation. And I aspire to make these innovations to mould this world into a better place to live ¶ - Unknown

As an engineer and researcher, my interests lie in Applied Artificial Intelligence (Applied AI), with a focus on Computer Vision & Deep Learning. Over the years, I have worked on AI applications in different domains, including Space, Robotics, Edge Systems and Human-Computer Interaction. Currently, I'm a Research Fellow in 'AI & Autonomous Systems' with the RAMI Group at City University of London. Before that, I was a Research Associate at the University of Luxembourg with the CVI2 Research Group, working on 'AI for Space Applications'.
