Personal statement
Personal statement
I am a Reader in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering. I re-joined the University of Strathclyde in 2011 and in 2016 I was awarded a prestigious Chancellor’s Fellow award. I became a Senior Lecturer in 2018 and Reader in 2021. My current activities focus on the area of applied Artificial Intelligence and industrial informatics with particular emphasis in 1) transfer learning and domain adaptation 2) incremental active learning 3) causality and explainability 4) Fusion of data-based models with expert knowledge. My research interests are interdisciplinary in nature and span across applications domains and industrial sectors.
- Sustainable Agri-food Systems (Livestock and Arable)
- Digital Health
