Bio
I attended University of Birmingham between 2013 and 2018, obtaining an MSci in Computer Science with an Industrial Year. As part of that, I spent a year working as a Software Engineer in the information security division of Morgan Stanley, and my summers doing research and software development.
I started my PhD in Computer Science at UCL and The Alan Turing Institute in September 2018 under the supervision of Mirco Musolesi and Steve Hailes. During my PhD, I interned with Spotify Research in Summer 2021. After passing my PhD viva in April 2023, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Machine Learning at UCL Computer Science until July 2024. In November 2024, I was appointed Honorary Research Fellow for my research and supervision contributions to the Department.
Between August 2024 and October 2026, I was a Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) at the Oxford Robotics Institute, University of Oxford, where I was a part of the GOALS group led by Nick Hawes. I also held a teaching position as Retained Lecturer in Engineering Science at Jesus College.
