After working in technical sales and business development, I returned to university to pursue graduate studies in Manufacturing Engineering, focusing on the product design and development of robotic systems. This marked the beginning of my journey in robotics and AI, which has now spanned more than a decade and continues to evolve.

I moved to the UK to pursue a PhD at the University of Leeds, where I worked with several research groups, including the EPSRC National Facility for Innovative Robotic Systems, the Centre for Immersive Technologies, and the Immersive Cognition Laboratory. My work involves integrating robots with brain interfaces and virtual reality platforms, designing user experiments, and exploring machine learning models for data processing.

I joined The University of Manchester as a Postdoctoral Researcher (later as a NEST Research Fellow), working on robot digital twins and cyber-physical systems. I collaborated with academics and industry professionals on projects and technical sprints aimed at deploying robots in hazardous and extreme environments.

Currently, I am the Technical Project Manager for CRADLE, a £10M academic-industry partnership in robotics and autonomous systems. CRADLE has grown into a complex program that bridges academia and industry for critical mission sectors. My technical team has successfully delivered robotic deployments and demonstrations for stakeholders in industries such as nuclear, space, infrastructure, and healthcare.
