Teaching
In my current role, I am actively involved in postgraduate teaching and student academic support, covering modules such as Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Cybersecurity, and Blockchain. I am passionate about bridging theory and practice in higher education through inclusive pedagogy, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and technology-enhanced learning, ensuring students are well-prepared for both academic and professional success.
Research
My academic and research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare, particularly in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Explainable AI for medical imaging, and interdisciplinary AI applications. I have published research in IEEE conferences and peer-reviewed journals, with contributions in breast cancer diagnostics, sentiment analysis, and retrieval-augmented generation for intelligent systems.
