About me

I am a final-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of St Andrews, supervised by Dr Blesson Varghese within the Edge Computing Hub. My research focuses on distributed and privacy-preserving AI systems, aiming to make intelligent models more efficient, secure, and deployable on everyday devices. My PhD is fully funded through an industrial scholarship from Rakuten Mobile Inc., Japan.

I am also the CTO and co-investigator of LockEyeGaze, a deepfake-resistant biometric authentication system that has received £92,000 in public funding through the UK CyberASAP Year 8 programme.

Prior to my PhD, I worked as an research engineer at Huawei’s Noah’s Ark Lab, where I developed a distributed ML-driven optimisation system for logistics (packing + routing). Earlier, I completed a master’s degree with distinction in Data Science from the University of Edinburgh.

I’m always open to meaningful collaborations. Please feel free to get in touch.
