I am a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh under the SENSE CDT program, and part of the BayesWatch research group, advised by Dr. Elliot J. Crowley.

My current research lies in the intersection of Machine Learning (Computer Vision) and Earth Observation fields.

My research interests are:

  • Diffusion models for Earth Observation.
  • Self-supervised methods for data fusion. Learning semantic representations of satellite images.
  • Adapting foundational models for large domain shift.
