Supervision
I work closely with the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO or SKA SA) based in Cape Town and I am part of Rhodes Centre for Radio Astronomy Techniques & Technologies based in the Department of Physics and Electronics, Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网. I am a fellow of the DHET Future Professors Programme (FPP). I am leading the Rhodes AI Research Group (RAIRG) based in the Department of mathematics. My research interests are in big data, statistical signal processing, artificial intelligence.
