Assistant Professor

About Me

I specialize in data-focused research, with a particular emphasis on data science and artificial intelligence in a privacy preserving environment. My research is primarily focused on agriculture and food systems, including the development of data infrastructures and customised machine learning algorithms that integrate data from various sources using semantic web technologies.
