Biography

I have a career background in operations management and start-up enterprise, co-founding a vertical farming prototype in 2018. I re-skilled in Computer Science, with a focus on Computer Vision and Deep Learning at the University of Bristol in 2023.   

My exposure to the world of programming, automation and cutting-edge science developed a growing interest in how autonomous systems might be leveraged to solve some of today’s difficult problems.  

My current interests lie in exploring collaboration and cooperation between multi-agent systems, but I join the FARSCOPE programme with an open mind and look forwards to learning more about  the many research opportunities across the field.
