BIO
I am a PhD Researcher and Casual Academic at the University of Wollongong, Australia. My research lies at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), with applications in medical image analysis, cancer diagnosis, intelligent decision-support systems, and sustainable energy technologies.
My research focuses on developing trustworthy, interpretable, and reliable AI frameworks that combine advanced machine learning methodologies with domain-specific knowledge. I am particularly interested in explainable and responsible AI for healthcare, intelligent systems, data-driven modelling, optimization techniques, and AI-enabled engineering applications.
Prior to commencing my PhD, I contributed to research in nonlinear control systems, sliding mode control, reinforcement learning, optimization algorithms, and intelligent energy management for complex engineering systems, bridging the gap between control theory and modern AI approaches.
I actively contribute to the research community through peer-reviewed publications, interdisciplinary collaborations, and journal reviewing activities. My research interests include Artificial Intelligence, Explainable AI, Medical AI, Intelligent Systems, and Sustainable Energy Applications. I welcome opportunities for research collaboration in these areas.
