RISE Fellow - Schmidt Futures and the Rhodes Trust
Barron Prize for Young Heroes 2024 | Eureka Changemakers Fellowship Canada 2025


I innovate at the intersection of oceans, robotics, AI, and engineering — designing drone and hydrophone technologies that leverage advanced algorithms and data-driven systems to tackle intergenerational challenges. My work spans from developing next-generation robotics to harnessing AI for complex, large-scale projects.

Beyond engineering, I have delivered 80+ talks worldwide — from the UN Ocean Conference to the American Geophysical Union — sharing insights on technology’s role in reimagining ocean stewardship and inspiring the next wave of changemakers.
