Polymath at the intersection of science & engineering

With a PhD in Pathophysiology and a Masters in Industrial Processes, my work defies conventional disciplinary boundaries. I approach every problem as a system — whether it's understanding disease mechanisms, synthesising novel molecules, or architecting production-scale software platforms.

My research trajectory spans organometallic chemistry at UNSW Sydney, AI-powered clinical diagnostics, cancer pharmacology, and the invention of ConeRod — a physics-based computer vision algorithm inspired by biological photoreceptors.

I bring the same rigour that produced breakthrough results in JACS to every domain I enter — from bioprocesses to embedded vision systems, from cosmological theory to platform architecture.

ConeRod

A novel physics-based detection algorithm that simulates the biological function of cone and rod photoreceptor cells in the human retina — without machine learning.

Unlike neural network approaches, ConeRod operates deterministically — making it certifiable under EN 54 European fire and smoke safety standards. Machines can now see the way biology evolved to see light.

ConeRod separates luminance and chrominance channels, applies biologically-inspired sensitivity curves, and produces certifiable detection outputs from standard CCTV hardware.
