{{CVContent|
I lead an ongoing research effort to precisely quantify power loss from damaged or old photovoltaic panels in commercial solar power plants. Infrared images of the panels under electroluminescence are collected by a drone-mounted InGaAs detector, and pixel-wise intensities are used to fit an equivalent circuit model, which in turn approximates mismatch loss and I-V characteristic.

Completed a feasibility study on sentiment analysis of images in social media, funded by a research grant from [https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/innovate-uk the UK government's technology strategy board]. Starting from the Yfcc100m and YLI datasets comprised of 100 million images, labels, and metadata, I investigated both novel and existing methods and developed a commercial product, which has since evolved to be based on convolutional neural nets.

{{CVContent|
Completed a research internship through the Bright Minds Intern Competition programme in the Machine Learning and Perception research group, working with Principal / Senior Researchers  [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/pkohli/ Pushmeet Kohli], [http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/yobach/ Yoram Bachrach], [http://www.ulrichpaquet.com/ Ulrich Paquet], and [http://www.radlinski.org/ Filip Radlinski].

I worked on Project SmartFence - an application for web access control. Users block or allow a few sites they know about, and SmartFence automatically infers the suitability of the rest of the web. We developed several different cluster/kernel-based models and visualization schemes. The final model generates a high dimensional embedding of websites from search sessions (think associated filtering). I delivered a prototype for the OneWeek company-wide hackathon, and a patent was applied for.
