Teaching

I have taught deep learning, digital image processing, digital signal processing and digital logic design for six years, across three universities. Much of the work in the index carries a student or a junior colleague as a co-author.

Supervision and co-authorship

I treat supervision as a mechanism of the research rather than a side effect of it. Most of the papers in the index have a student or a junior colleague on them.

A former colleague acknowledged me publicly on the multimodal deepfake dataset paper in June 2026, after I had left the university that hosted the work. The collaboration continued past the end of the contract, which is the part of it I am pleased about.

I have 24 documented peer reviews on record, and my editorial roles are listed under service.

"Sir, you have truly been an invaluable asset. I am sincerely thankful for your constant guidance, encouragement, and the support you have given me throughout my research journey."
