I work at the intersection of data science and real-world decision-making, focusing on how data can be used to solve practical problems and support meaningful insights.
I am a Senior Lecturer in Data Science at the University of Gloucestershire, where I combine teaching and research in applied analytics, machine learning, and data engineering. I completed my PhD here in 2024, exploring data-driven methods and intelligent systems in real-world contexts.
My work spans areas such as data analytics, statistical modelling, data visualisation, and machine learning, with a strong emphasis on applying these techniques beyond theory. I have experience working with data in operational and production environments, which informs both my research and teaching.
I am particularly interested in decision-making under uncertainty and in developing data-driven approaches that are both technically robust and practically usable.
My research focus in on Artificial Intelligence with a particular focus on hybrid deep learning models, image processing and how they could be applied to solve real-world problems, especially for healthcare related issues such as diseases predictions.
