Personal profile
Academic Biography
I am the Course Leader for the MSc Computer Science programme at Teesside University, where I lead and deliver postgraduate education across a broad range of advanced computing subjects. In addition to my core teaching responsibilities, I actively support international academic partnerships in the delivery and quality assurance of both undergraduate and postgraduate computing programmes.
My professional focus lies at the intersection of academia and industry. I mentor and support students and industry collaborators through live projects in Machine Learning (ML) and Business Intelligence (BI), helping to drive real-world innovation and impactful digital solutions. I have a proven track record of delivering industry-led BI and ML projects, supporting the development of advanced data-driven tools and analytical frameworks for partner organisations.
Beyond technical specialisms, I am passionate about supporting digital innovation across all areas of computing, encouraging students and industry collaborators alike to embrace emerging technologies and creative problem-solving.
Additionally, I am the Course Leader for Year 2 Enterprise Projects, where I guide students in the design, development, and implementation of industry-focused applications, digital solutions, and research prototypes, strengthening their employability and real-world impact.
I am committed to fostering excellence, collaboration, and innovation within the academic and professional computing communities.
