Biography
I am mainly working on developing autonomous supply chains (ASCs), including their theoretical and technical aspects, built upon multi-agent systems methodology.
Before moving to Cambridge, I did my PhD in computer science at the University of Nottingham, working on a multidisciplinary project about Artcode detection with the supervision of Prof Steve Benford (human-computer interaction), Dr Andrew French (computer vision) and Dr Dave Towey (software engineering).
Through my PhD’s training in working within a multidisciplinary team, I have trained the necessary skills to deal with the complex problems that need knowledge from many areas of computer science, such as image processing, human-computer interaction, software engineering, computer vision, IoT, database and web development.
