Biography
I am a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Huawei Technologies Research & Development, supervised by Prof. Adam Barker. Prior to that I was a Machine Learning Engineer at Hyperscience.
I completed my PhD at The University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University, part of the RAD group, supervised by Dr. Subramanian Ramamoorthy and Dr. Kartic Subr. I am working on the intersection of Robotics, Machine Learning and Physics, i.e. how can we solve highly dynamical tasks in uncertain environments by incorporating physical inductive bias. This allows for performing tasks such as localizing a gas leakage with a UAV, stopping an unknown bouncing ball mid-air, etc., by incorporating useful bias for wind and gas dispersion; free fall and restitution; etc. I am also a committee member of EdIntelligence and cohort representative for the Robotics RAS CDT.
