- PhD Student
Biography
I am currently a third-year PhD student in the Graphics and Interaction (Rainbow) Group at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Dr Rafał Mantiuk. My research is primarily focused on applications of Human Vision and Machine Learning to perceptual video quality assessment. The overall goal is to develop VQA algorithms which can be used to optimize the delivery of both SDR and HDR content under varying display and viewing conditions.
Prior to my PhD, I studied at the National Institute of Telecommunication and ICT where I received my engineering degree in Telecommunications and Digital Technologies. During my undergraduate studies, I worked under the supervision of Dr Sid Ahmed Fezza and Dr Hamidouche Wassim on Image Quality Assessment Algorithms.
