Research Project
My interest lies in developing deep and machine learning techniques for image processing and remote sensing, with a focus on solving environmental monitoring challenges. In 2025, I embarked on my Ph.D., transitioning my expertise in image analysis to enhancing sonar backscatter data for seabed mapping. Before this, I built extensive experience in geospatial modeling and advanced image processing, emphasizing data quality improvement and extracting meaningful insights from complex datasets. My research is dedicated to addressing challenges such as denoising, de-speckling, and artifact removal, while ensuring rigorous validation to create reliable and innovative tools for marine mapping and environmental monitoring.
