Overview

My research interests include pattern recognition and machine learning, biometric authentication, document analysis, medical applications and digital image processing.

My undergraduate teaching focuses on mechanics (dynamics of particles and rigid bodies), as well as mathematical modelling, while my postgraduate teaching focuses on digital image processing.
