Advert description
I am a passionate educator with a PhD in Robotics and Control from the National University of Singapore, and over 10 years of experience as an AI Research Scientist working in the UK and internationally. My academic and professional journey spans computer vision, deep learning, and autonomous systems, all rooted in strong foundations of Mathematics and Physics.
As a tutor, I bring both academic rigour and real-world context to my lessons, helping students understand how maths and physics apply to everyday technology, from robotics and AI to self-driving cars. I am detail-oriented, patient, and committed to helping each student build confidence and problem-solving skills.
Over the past decade, I have worked as a Principal and Staff Applied Research Scientist in leading AI and Robotics companies in the UK and Singapore. My work has involved developing computer vision and AI systems for autonomous vehicles, safety analytics, and industrial automation.
Alongside my professional career, I have mentored numerous MSc and PhD students from the National University of Singapore, University of Michigan, and University College London for their final-year or doctoral research projects, guiding them in technical problem-solving, critical thinking, and clear scientific communication.
During my PhD, I was recognised for research excellence, receiving international conference awards from the IEEE organisation. I completed my Bachelor of Engineering at the National University of Singapore on a fully funded SIA–NOL (Singapore Airlines–Neptune Orient Lines) Undergraduate Scholarship, which covered both tuition and living expenses. Earlier in India, I secured the State 3rd Rank in the Tamil Nadu Higher Secondary Board Examinations (equivalent to A-Levels in the UK), achieving 98.4% among more than-students. I also scored 100% in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science, a distinction achieved by only 12 students that year.
These experiences reflect my commitment to learning, mentoring, and inspiring others to reach their potential.
