About
I received my BSc degree in Information and Computing Science from Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, followed by an MSc in Advanced Computer Science at the University of Liverpool. I then completed my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Liverpool under the supervision of Prof. Simon Maskell and Prof. Rahul Savani. My doctoral research focused on surveillance analytics, with particular emphasis on numerical optimisation, machine learning, and Bayesian inference for target tracking.
After completing my PhD, I moved to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics (EEE) at the University of Liverpool as a Post-doctoral Research Associate (PDRA). During this period, I worked on multiple research projects with a strong focus on real-world applications. My research centred on situation awareness, remote sensing, target tracking and data fusion, with application contexts spanning maritime, urban, and space surveillance with fundings supported by Dstl, The Alan Turing Institute, AFOSR, etc.
I later worked on developing theoretical methods for Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) samplers, supported by EPSRC-funded “Big Hypotheses: A Fully Parallelised Bayesian Inference Solution.” This work strengthened the methodological foundations of my research and deepened my interest in scalable Bayesian inference for complex systems. Right before taking up my lectureship, I moved into the healthcare domain, where I worked on the Data Action Accelerator programme which is funded by the Office for Life Sciences, which aims to drive innovation to improve healthcare in the UK.
I am now a Lecturer in Signal Processing for Health Data Science in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics. My research continues to focus on signal processing, Machine/Deep Learning and Bayesian inference, combining theoretical innovation in data science with practical impact to solve real-world problems, particularly those that can help improve existing healthcare systems.
I am a member of the Signal Processing Group and a member of the data engineering team at Mental Health Research for Innovation Centre.
I am an honorary researcher at Mersey Care.
