Personal profile

Research Focus

I am currently a research fellow in the William Wright Centre for Technology working on Intelligent Infrastructure Monitoring. This research will potentially lead to improved safety and reduced maintenance costs as early detection of infrastructure damage results in a reduction of repair cost. The research involves applying Deep Learning & Computer Vision to enhance road monitoring and bridge damage detection. My previous research involved developing a time synchronised vehicle classification and multipoint displacement monitoring system for bridge structures.
