Personal profile
Research interests
My research interests lie in the application of data science, machine learning, and computer vision to the analysis and interpretation of animal health data. Through this work, I aim to support improved surveillance, decision-making, and disease management in animal health. My current specific interests include:
- Aquaculture
- Biosecurity
- Veterinary Reports
- Antimicrobial resistance
Biography
I have a Ph.D. in Computing Science, with a thesis titled "Innovative Signal Processing and Data Mining Techniques for Aquatic Animal Health." This project was conducted through a joint-funded studentship with the University of Stirling and SRUC. Prior to this, I graduated with a 1st class B.Sc.(Hons.) in Software Engineering from the University of Stirling in 2019.
