Biography
I am adjunct professor of Computer Science the University of Turku (UTU), Finland. From 2011-2016, I was a researcher and PhD candidate at the department of future technologies, University of Turku. I have worked in academia since 2009 in several positions such as research assistant, teacher assistant, post-doctoral researcher, lecturer and senior researcher. I have a proven ability in mentoring, proposal-writing, project management and state-of-the-art computer proficiencies.

Research
I have worked in academia since 2009 in several positions such as research assistant, teacher assistant, post-doctoral researcher, lecturer and senior researcher. I jointed the University Turku as a research visitor in 2011 and then after 6 months I got an offer to start my Ph.D. During my Ph.D, I have also visited and worked the Birmingham University for almost half year in 2015. I have also worked at the Kingston University in London as a research visitor in 2019. I have collaborated with these universities and worked on various projects. These international research visits greatly helped me in building new connection for further international collaborations in many ways. Currently, I am working on several projects at UTU and supervising several M.Sc. student. My research interests include Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Data Analysis, Autonomous Systems and Cloud Computing. I have published +30 articles in journal and conference proceedings.
Teaching
I have 10+ years’ experience in teaching and research specializing in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Data Analysis, Autonomous Systems and Cloud Computing. You can find more information about my projects from my webpage.
