I am currently a Senior AI/Data Scientist at Medtronic Digital Surgery, UK, and an Honorary Research Fellow at Digital Environment Research Institute (DERI), Queen Mary University of London, UK. My current research focuses on developing AI methods for minimally invasive surgery (MIS), medical imaging as well as AI-assisted annotation of imaging data.

My previous appointments include, Senior Research Scientist at Motive (remote), Research Fellow at King's College London, UK, and Senior Research Engineer II at Imagination Technologies, UK. I worked in these roles mostly doing research at designing, training, publishing, and optimising AI models. I have also worked on a range of projects in computer vision, machine learning, medical imaging, and neural network compression.

In 2017, I completed my PhD in Machine Learning (Computer Science) from City, University of London under the supervision of Greg Slabaugh. For my research, I contributed novel probabilistic regression methods to learn hand pose and orientation using uncalibrated colour images.

I hold 11 granted patents and have published 20+ papers in top-tier conferences and journals. I have also served as a reviewer for top-tier conferences and journals in my field.

My research interests include machine learning, computer vision, medical imaging, neural networks, and probabilistic modelling.
