Profile

As a Research Associate at Loughborough University, I specialise in data science and machine learning applications for environmental monitoring and control systems. My expertise encompasses developing IoT sensor networks, creating machine learning models, and implementing real-time data analysis solutions. I lead initiatives in bridging academia-industry partnerships, notably establishing collaboration between Loughborough University and the Building Research Establishment (BRE).

My academic background includes an MSc in Internet of Things (with Distinction) from Bournemouth University and a First-Class Honours in Computer Science from King Khalid University (KKU). As a Machine Learning Engineer at University Hospitals Dorset NHS, I designed an innovative eye-blink detection system that improved quality of life for over 50 patients with limited mobility, demonstrating my ability to translate complex technical solutions into practical applications.

My technical expertise is strengthened by specialised training in Linux Systems, Robotics Applications, and various programming languages. I currently lead a coding club in the School of ABCE, enabling researchers to utilise state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. My work's impact is evidenced by publications and consecutive wins in ASHRAE competitions, demonstrating the successful application of advanced technologies to real-world challenges.

My research interests focus on developing adaptive machine-learning solutions for environmental systems and intelligent monitoring applications. I aim to bridge the gap between AI advancement and practical applications, particularly in creating sustainable, smart environments that address real-world challenges.
