About

I am a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science (Data Science) specialising in data science, machine learning, and computer vision. Previously, I have held the role of Programme Leader for MSc Data Science and MSc Applied Data Science. Prior to joining the University, I worked at other higher education institutions as a lecturer, research fellow, and research assistant in the fields of computer vision and natural language processing, including co-writing, designing, and conducting successful research projects for a variety of organisations such as the Home Office, SBRI, DASA, and Samsung. I have a passion for ensuring up-to-date teaching curricula, utilising a skills-focused approach with an emphasis on employability and graduate prospects.
