Summary
A Computer Vision / Al & Augmented Reality researcher, tertiary educator, and public speaker with a strong interest in artificial intelligence, I strive to learn as much as possible and share that information with as many people as possible. Serving as Topic Editor for Remote Sensing is one of the many honours I have received in my career. It's also important for me to serve as a peer reviewer for high-profile journals and conferences in the fields of Bioinformatics / ML / Augmented Reality & Computer Vision.
