I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at CSIRO, developing deep learning strategies for robot vision and mobile manipulation. My research focuses on designing adaptive AI models that generalize across diverse environments while ensuring robust performance. During my PhD at Monash University, under the supervision of Dr. Mehrtash Harandi and Dr. Peyman Moghadam, I worked on lifelong learning, enabling AI models to adapt continuously while retaining prior knowledge. My work has been published in top-tier venues, including Neural Networks, ICRA (CORE A*), and MICCAI (CORE A). I also contribute as a reviewer for IEEE TPAMI, ICLR, and other leading AI conferences and journals. Beyond academia, my experience as a Computer Vision Engineer has allowed me to bridge research and real-world applications. I am committed to open and reproducible science and have expertise in deep learning (PyTorch, TensorFlow), machine learning, and programming (Python, C++). Additionally, I am always eager to learn new tools and technologies.
