      I am a Senior Lecturer of Computing at Oxford Brookes University and a member of the Visual AI Laboratory. I specialise in robotics, AI, and neural systems, with a particular speciality in neuromorphic robotics (neurorobotics). My current research interests include single-shot learning for embedded robots, neuromorphic integration, low-power parallel asynchronous hardware, spiking neural networks, and applications of graph-based methods to computing.
