Biography
I completed my PhD at the University of Manchester in 2020, having previously recieved an MMath from Durham University.  My main expertise lies in computer science and mathematics, however, I have a fascination for all sorts of interesting topics (largely enabled by the huge amount of wonderful educational content available on the internet) ranging from ants to mechanical calculators (which I collect).
Research Themes
Research Summary
I am a researcher working at the Institute of Optahlmology, helping to develop Eye2Gene: a deep-learning-based AI tool to aid in the diagnosis of inherited retinal diseases. More generally I am interested in various areas of deep learning and applying it within various contexts, and I have previously worked on projects using deep learning for video-game AI, identifing fuel-poor households, and applying deep reinforcement learning for simulating urban navigation.
