Research
My research spans mixed reality, multi-agent robotics, artificial intelligence, medical imaging and interdisciplinary studies. I enjoy work that combines building systems with experimentation.
Publications
IEEE Access · Peer-reviewed journal
Developed and evaluated a mixed-reality framework that combines physical and virtual agents for swarm-intelligence experimentation, enabling researchers to test multi-agent behaviour without relying entirely on large fleets of physical robots.
MERCon · Best Paper Award
Applied machine-learning and medical-image analysis techniques to automatic lumbar intervertebral-disc segmentation. The work received the Best Paper Award in Big Data, Machine Learning and Cloud Computing at MERCon.
TASME · Abstract publication
Presented the mixed-reality swarm-robotics framework through an abstract publication at the Technological Advances in Science, Medicine and Engineering Conference.
In progress
Ongoing research
An ongoing extension of the swarm-robotics platform exploring mobile obstacle robots that can dynamically reconfigure an experimental arena.
Ongoing research
An interdisciplinary study exploring self-directed learning readiness and stress among school and university students, with the aim of informing age-appropriate learning approaches.
