👋 About

I am a Senior Lecturer in AI at the University of Salford, working across research, teaching, and supervision. My work focuses on Computer Vision & Multimodal AI, LLMs, and Responsible AI, with an emphasis on systems that are explainable, robust, and suitable for real-world deployment. I combine academic research with industry-facing work, and I am particularly interested in trustworthy AI evaluation, multimodal systems, and AI to support education.
