Computer Vision & Imaging Researcher

Hello World! Neel I am, a Computer Vision / Machine Learning researcher with several years of specialised experience. Coming from an academic and research background with a PhD in Image Processing / Computer Vision, I have collaborated with industrial partners and government entities to translate complex research into practical applications.

Currently leading the Machine Learning and Computer Vision team at AutosOnShow (British Car Auctions).

Outside work, I am a sports enthusiast and enjoy outdoors - whether I’m walking/hiking the trails or capturing the world through photography and art.
