I will join the School of Computer Science at Northumbria University as a Lecturer in July 2026. I am also an Academic Member of the BCML Lab. My research interests include AI agents and multi-agent systems, inter- and multidisciplinary AI, and multimodal LLMs.

Prior to this appointment, I was a Research Fellow (Postdoctoral Researcher) from 2022 to 2026 in the BCML Lab within the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences and the TEMET Lab in the Department of Research Methods and Practice at Heriot-Watt University, where I worked with Prof. Wei Pang and Dr. Daniele Fanelli.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from Heriot-Watt University in 2024, after beginning my doctoral studies at the University of Aberdeen in 2018. I also hold an MSc in Big Data and High-Performance Computing from the University of Liverpool, obtained in 2017.
