Research Interests
I started my PhD working on communication intelligence and modulation classification. I then had to work on machine condition monitoring because of funding requirement. Since then I have worked on a number of domains and the highlights are summarised below. My complete list of publication and research metrics can be found on my Google Scholar .

Omnidirectional Vision
Using a catadioptric configuration, one can achieve a 360 degree field of view.

Cancellable Biometrics
This research concerns with the security of biometic templates. Adopting a chosen one way transformation, one can regenerate a new biometric template on the fly.
