I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in autonomous systems at the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EEECS), Queen's University Belfast. My research centers on building safe, reliable, and secure artificial intelligence for intelligent transport systems, with a particular focus on two core pillars:

• Run-time Monitoring & Introspection: Developing mechanisms to assess and ensure the reliability of perception modules (e.g., LiDAR-based 3D object detection) under uncertainties and adverse conditions.
• Safe & Resilient Cooperative Autonomy: Building verifiable and interoperable frameworks for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) in real-world environments.

Prior to joining QUB, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at WMG, University of Warwick, where I worked on EU-funded projects (EVENTS and Hi-Drive) to integrate self-assessment and perception frameworks into real-world automated driving pipelines. I completed my Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of Warwick (supervised by Dr. Roger Woodman and Prof. Mehrdad Dianati).

I hold a Master's and Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from Middle East Technical University (METU NCC).

Prospective Students: I am actively looking for self-motivated PhD students and researchers interested in safe and reliable AI for autonomous systems. Please feel free to drop me an email!
