I am a PhD candidate at QUT, supervised by Dr. Mahdi Abolghasemi, Prof. Raja Jurdak and A/Prof. Sara Khalifa.

My research focuses on hierarchical forecasting, federated learning and deep learning, with applications in energy systems and supply chain planning. My experience includes machine learning for time series forecasting and supply chain optimisation. I am interested in combining mathematics, statistics and domain knowledge to support practical decisions.

I am a principal member of the Forecasting Insight and Decision-making Group, and a member of QUT’s Energy Transition Centre and Centre for Data Science.

I welcome discussions and collaborations in research and industry. Feel free to get in touch.
