A human pursuit of intelligent systems.
I've always believed that the most elegant algorithms are the ones that work in the real world. My journey started in India, where I was driven by a fascination with how machines could parse the nuance of human language. Landing national headlines for my early search algorithms as an undergraduate was the first sign that this was more than just an academic interest.
That path led me through the high-pressure labs of Hong Kong and eventually to the UK. I've been fortunate to lead multi-million pound research grants that don't just result in papers, but in deployed software at places like BT and eBay. I treat every project as a bridge between a lab breakthrough and a human solution.
Today, when I'm not in front of a lecture hall at the University of Southampton or mentoring my PhD students, I'm working with global organizations to ensure AI is built responsibly, ethically, and—most importantly—with a clear purpose.
Let's build the future of AI together.
I am always open to high-impact collaborations that bridge the gap between rigorous research and global industrial needs.
