Personal profile
Personal Statement
My research expertise is in Signal and Information Processing (inc. AI technologies and machine learning), with focus on representation, processing, temporal and spatial information mining, and data management for a range of signal types acquired from sensors. My key strength is in extracting meaningful information from real data, including electrical, seismic, health/biological and other environmental sensor data, developing algorithms to handle dynamic and complex data that is often sparse, noisy, heterogeneous and multimodal, gathered from distributed sources. My research is multi-disciplinary by nature and has a strong focus on tackling emerging challenges pertaining to climate change and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, working closely with international collaborators and non-academic stakeholders to lead innovation in the field.
My work is particularly aligned with the following university strategic research themes (Measurement Science & Enabling Technologies, Energy, Health & Well-Being)
I am currently Deputy Head of Department Learning & Teaching.
