Computing · Computer Vision · Mathematical foundations of AI

Research in visual intelligence, neural representations, and mathematical foundations of AI.

I’m an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at Dublin City University (DCU) and a Visiting Fellow at Trinity College Dublin (TCD). My work spans 3D reconstruction, mathematical foundations of AI, and generative pipelines for controllable data and evaluation.

Depth & 3D

Dense geometry, refinement, and multi-camera reconstruction.

AI Foundations

Mathematical structure of neural representations, learning, and feature geometry.

Event Vision

High-temporal perception, benchmarks, and eye dynamics.

ML Systems

End-to-end pipelines, evaluation, and deployment.
