About me

I'm a deep learning scientist with expertise in self-supervised and low resource machine learning in speech, language and image processing.

My early research was on keyword search/keyword spotting applications on low resource languages. I'm currently working on self-supervised deep learning applications for MRI cancer reserch, which involves super-resolution and physics-informed autoencoders.
