As a researcher, I really enjoy working on cutting-edge projects and developing enabling new technologies in research, in the hope that these will one day translate back to the real world and have a direct impact on our lives. I also enjoy being surrounded by brilliant people that share the vision of “technology for good” and I’m truly humbled by their support. Meanwhile, I’m excited by the ever-growing challenges I’m faced with as my career unfolds and keen to take them on.
“I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.”
