I am an Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science, AI, and Electronics at the University of Bradford. I am the programme leader for the MSc Big Data Science and Technology programmes. I am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
From February 2017 until September 2019, I was a research associate in the Dependable Intelligent Systems research group at the University of Hull. I earned my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Hull in 2016. I also hold an MSc in Embedded Systems and a BSc in Computer Science and Engineering.
