I currently work as a Senior Robotics Research Engineer at Dyson, mainly working on control and planning for mobile manipulation robots intended for helping in domestic tasks and environments. I completed my PhD from the Intelligent Robotics Lab at the University of Birmingham. The main area of my research was applying Machine Learning techniques to develop a framework that can aid robots to perform changing-contact manipulation tasks in dynamic and unknown environments using different objects.
