I’m an assistant professor in Engineering Department at Durham University, Durham, United Kingdom. I am also visiting researcher at Newcastle University and continue my collaboration with Institute of Biosciences and School of Computing.

My research is concentrated on biomedical image analysis with more emphasis on ocular data. From a theoretical point of view, I like working on deep learning, graph-based image analysis, and time-frequency methods, with the purpose of segmentation, restoration, and classification of medical data.
