I am an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in Electrical Engineering at the University of Huddersfield and a Visiting Researcher at the Unconventional Computing Laboratory at the University of the West of England.

My research focuses on computing, neuromorphic systems, machine learning, and soft matter electronics. I am particularly interested in physical reservoir computing and how complex physical materials can process information through nonlinear dynamics and memory effects.

I teach courses in analogue electronics, electric circuits, parallel computing, and introduction to research. My work combines electrical engineering, materials science, and computational modelling, with applications ranging from bio-inspired computing systems to experimental electronic materials.

I am currently recruiting PhD students to join our group!
