The timeline below focuses on the core problem, technical contribution, and research direction of each project.

September 2024 - August 2025 Undergraduate final year project
Satellite Image-Based Remote Sensing for Change Detection and Landscape Mapping
  • Designed a spatio-frequency fusion strategy with change-guided attention to better capture meaningful landscape transformations.
  • Integrated CBAM into the decoder to suppress noise and sharpen change boundaries.
  • Improved minority-class sensitivity with Dice Loss and loss functions tailored to changed-versus-unchanged separation.
September 2025 - Present Theoretical research
Implicit Neural Representations: Coordinate Scaling and Branch Specialisation
  • Developed CoRe-INR using axis-wise coordinate scaling and confidence-based fusion; analysed spectral support and convergence through frequency-domain and neural tangent kernel analysis.
  • Proposed SSA-guided branch specialisation with explicit component supervision, PSO-initialised learnable scaling, and gated additive fusion for image and audio representation.
  • Evaluated CoRe-INR on image, audio, and 3D representation, alongside denoising, super-resolution, and inpainting.
October 2023 - Present Ongoing research project
HeritageAI: NVIDIA-Supported Heritage Image Restoration Using Diffusion and INRs
  • Contributing to an NVIDIA-funded heritage restoration project centered on generative AI for cultural preservation.
  • Developing diffusion-based and implicit neural representation pipelines for restoring degraded historical photographs and documents.
  • Implementing INR-driven denoising workflows that remove blemishes, noise, and structural artifacts in heritage imagery.
June 2023 - Present Ongoing research project
A Data-Driven Demographic Analysis Approach for Understanding Mortality Variation Across Nations
  • Developed PoPDivergence, a KL-divergence-based scalar to compare national population pyramids against an optimized reference.
  • Introduced PoPStat to quantify demographic influence on disease-specific mortality across 371 global diseases.
  • Benchmarked the method against HDI, GDP, median age, and life expectancy, showing stronger explanatory power for many diseases.
September 2024 - August 2025 Undergraduate research
Algorithm Development for Hyperspectral Unmixing
  • Developed a preprocessing method that corrects large illumination-induced scale distortions before unmixing.
  • Restored the simplex geometry assumed by the Linear Mixing Model to improve downstream abundance estimation.
  • Introduced a perspective-projection-based scale-correction algorithm that reduced abundance estimation errors by roughly 50 percent across diverse unmixing methods.
