I am a PhD Candidate with the Australian Centre for Robotics at the University of Sydney developing neural scene representations for enhanced robotic perception in complex, unstructured environments. I hold a combined Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) Hons I/Bachelor of Science (Advanced) degree from the University of Sydney, with majors in Space Engineering and Physics and a minor in Mathematics.
My research interests lie across neural representations, computational imaging, remote sensing, embedded AI, with a particular focus to the space domain.
Previously, I was a Computer Vision Research Student with Nearmap developing targeted small object extraction and reconstruction approaches for thin linear features in aerial imagery. This was the subject for my Honours thesis.
