PhD in Computer Science
My research programme develops AI-driven systems that bridge computational intelligence with real-world human and robotic operations, anchored in the cyber-physical domain.
Adaptive AI that modulates assistance to human operators based on real-time cognitive load, measured through EEG and multi-modal physiological signals.
Shepherding, coordination, and path planning for UAV/UGV swarms, including human-swarm teaming transparency and trust architectures.
Interpretable decision-making frameworks for autonomous systems, enabling meaningful human oversight in high-stakes operations.
Privacy-preserving machine learning (GANs, federated learning), EEG-based biometric authentication, and intrusion detection for IoT environments.
Consistently scoring above school and faculty averages with 100% broad agreement on teaching quality. Experienced in curriculum design and delivery at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
I'm actively seeking motivated PhD candidates interested in pushing the boundaries of AI, swarm intelligence, human-autonomy interaction, and cyber-physical systems. If you're passionate about cutting-edge research with real-world impact, let's connect.
