I am a computer scientist and chartered engineer passionate about using my engineering, technology, and varied skills to address the challenges of digital connectivity and communications infrastructure. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from Liverpool Hope University, MSc (Distinction) in Telecommunications with Management from the University of South Wales and BSc in Computing and Information Technologies from the University of Derby. I also have extensive work experience in the ICT and manufacturing industries, leading teams of engineers building, operating and maintaining telecommunication networks for various mobile network operators (MNOs).
My current research addresses digital connectivity and infrastructure issues, driven by the vision of bridging the digital divide and making universal and meaningful connectivity our experience. Key research themes cover AI, Space, High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS), Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), Connectivity/Communications Technologies, Robotics (autonomous systems, e.g., UAVs, Robots, etc.), and leveraging AI for ICT innovation. I represent Liverpool Hope University in the HAPS Alliance and its Telecommunications Working Group (TWG).
I have presented my research at international conferences and digital roundtables at the London Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO). I am an active researcher with over 15 peer-reviewed publications, including journal articles, a book chapter and numerous conference papers (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=O_V8eH0AAAAJ&hl=en).
