About Me

I am an EngD student at the Industrial Doctorate Centre in Optics and Photonics, working with the Visionlab group of Heriot Watt University, and Thales Optronics, part of Thales Group based in Glasgow.

My project aims to develop sensor processing techniques to improve the performance of interpretation tasks (e.g. object detection, recognition, tracking and situational awareness) on a land-based mobile platform. My current focus is in modelling Thales's high-resolution polarimetric thermal imager, CatherineMP, in order to identify possible features to use for vehicle detection.
