I am a research associate in the acoustic sensing at University of Sheffield. My expertise is in vibro-acoustics and acoustic sensing. As part of Theme 2, I work on development of new acoustic (sonic) technologies for robotic sensing of buried pipes. In addition, I will also explore through simulation and experiments how the adverse effects of measurement uncertainties can be minimized through various advanced imaging/signal processing approaches.
