- Affiliated Researcher
- Lecturer, University of Leicester
I am currently a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the University of Leicester. I am also an affiliated/visiting researcher at the Department of Computer Science and Technology, University of Cambridge. I was a Research Associate worked with Prof. Hatice Gunes from 09/2020 at the University of Cambridge. Prior to that, I obtained my PhD degree at the University of Nottingham, funded by Horizon CDT, under Prof Michel Valstar and Prof Alan Johnston's supervision.
