Research projects
My research interests lie on Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision and GenAI methods. At UoR, I am applying AI in multidisciplinary research in Digital Humanities (collaboration with MERL, Ure, Synthetic Media) and biodiversity (collaboration with National History Museum).
Note: I am actively looking for students to work with. Please access my Projects Openings (UG, MSc, PhD) page at and contact me.
