I’m a researcher in machine learning and AI with a focus on foundational models and their applications across domains, including geospatial AI.
Recent projects as part of the Alan Turing Institute:
Before joining the Alan Turing Institute, I obtained my PhD at Imperial College London as part of the Global Environmental Health Research Group and the Pathways to Equitable Healthy Cities collaboration. My PhD research focussed on characterising urban development with high-resolution satellite imagery and self-supervised deep learning in Sub-Saharan Africa.
