Applied Technologies

Digital signal processing expert

I work as a Senior Research Scientist in the Applied Technologies Communications Team. My primary goal is to contribute to the economy of New Zealand by continuously learning and exploring new avenues of knowledge. In my role, I specialise in areas such as digital signal processing, mathematical modelling, algorithm development, and machine learning. 

Science has an amazing history and historical figures motivate me. One individual who has profoundly impacted me is Albert Einstein. His genuine passion for knowledge, inquisitive nature and unwavering dedication inspire me to pursue continuous learning and growth.

My PhD in Electrical Engineering is from the Florida Institute of Technology; this set me up for a career contributing to cutting-edge research and development. I try to learn something new every day and thus make a positive contribution to the growth and success of New Zealand's innovation businesses..
