Research interests

My research sits at the intersection of multimodal learning and healthcare — models that read images and clinical context together, and explain what they saw.

  • Multimodal Learning

    Fusing images with clinical metadata through attention-based architectures.

  • Medical AI

    Computer-aided diagnosis under real clinical constraints — missing data included.

  • Computer Vision

    CNN and Transformer backbones for classification, detection and super-resolution.

  • Large Language Models

    LLMs as semantic transducers, turning structured metadata into rich descriptions.

  • Neural Architecture Search

    LLM-driven search for multimodal architectures that stay light enough to deploy.

  • Explainable AI

    SHAP analysis, calibration and stepwise reasoning that clinicians can follow.

What I do

Where engineering meets data

An Electrical Engineering foundation, a Master's in Data Science and hands-on backend work — applied to problems in industry, healthcare and civil structures.

Back-End Development

Server-side applications, APIs and data pipelines — designed to run reliably in production and to be maintained by a team.

Data Science & Machine Learning

Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Deep Learning models, from exploration and benchmarking through to peer-reviewed publication.

Data Analysis & Tech Consulting

Turning operational data into decisions — analysis, modelling and technical guidance for engineering and industrial contexts.
