I am a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham in the School of Computer Science in the group of Prof. Per Kristian Lehre. Before coming to Birmingham, I obtained a PhD degree at the University of Sheffield under supervision of Prof. Dirk Sudholt and Prof. Pietro Oliveto.

I have a strong foundation in machine learning, deep learning, and AI research. Holding a PhD in Computer Science and an MSc in Data Analytics, I have published extensively in top AI journals and collaborated internationally, including with MIT. Experienced in end-to-end ML model development, deployment, and optimization. Passionate about leveraging AI for impactful solutions in real-world applications. Seeking a role where I can apply my expertise to drive innovation and make a meaningful difference.
