Bio

👋 I am Alex, a Research Scientist Intern at FiveAI, an autonomous driving company now part of Bosch, where I’m advised by Dr. Puneet Dokania.

My journey in computer vision began at 16, joining Rayscape, a medical imaging startup. I continued there for two years as a Research Engineer, with a focus on domain generalisation, before moving to FiveAI where I worked on camera-lidar object inpainting in autonomous driving, advised by Dr. Romain Mueller, as a year-long Research Engineer Intern.

I have recently graduated with a BSc in AI from The University of Manchester. My thesis, supervised by Prof. Tim Cootes, focused on multimodal counterfactual generation using diffusion models.
