Personal statement

I am an academic in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, and Fellow of the HEA. In particular, I am the Leonardo Lecturer on a joint programme (2023-2027) between Strathclyde and the global security company Leonardo UK Ltd.

Having completed a PhD in video analytics for smart surveillance, in the Centre for Signal & Image Processing (CeSIP), within the EEE Department at Strathclyde, my background and areas of expertise reside in signal, image and video processing. My current research interests are Neuromorphic Engineering, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, Digital Signal Processing and Embedded Systems.

I am Director of the Neuromorphic Sensor Signal Processing Lab, within the CeSIP group, supervising PhD students and PostDoc researchers working on various research projects and applications within these broad research areas.

I am Course Director of the MSc in Machine Learning and Deep Learning, which is a joint MSc programme between the EEE Department and the Computer and Information Sciences Department at Strathclyde.

And I am also Adviser of Studies for Year 1 of the undergraduate degree programme Computer and Electronic Systems, joint between EEE and CIS Departments.
