Wow, you wanted to know more about me…

Mostly academic stuff

• In 2025, I’ll be starting as an AI resident at X , the moonshot factory working on top secret Google stuff
• I did my PhD at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre , UCL.
• During this time I met an amazing group of neuroscientists and we set up the TReND CaMinA summer school *
• I previously interned at OIST , Japan* (an cool science institute on a tiny tropical island) with Prof. Tomoki Fukai .
• During this time I was a participant on the OCNC summer school**
• Before my PhD I was a Herchel Smith scholar at Harvard. This allowed me to pivot from physics to neuroscience. I worked with Prof. Cengiz Pehlevan and Prof. Sam Gershman on various bits and bobs .
• I did my MSc thesis on unsupervised ML for cancer transcriptomics with Prof. Pietro Lio (Cambridge) and Dr. Syed Haider (ICR)
• I did my BA & MSci (Physics, Natural Sciences) at Cambridge. I was also born in Cambridge. Back then I used to row a lot.
• I did a summer undergraduate reseach fellowship at Caltech** with Profs. Andrew Thompson and Georgy Manucharyan looking at CNNs for turbulence prediction
• I’m not just an academic; I was briefly a consultant for a London-based financial start-up building ML tools for automating business valuations.

Non-academic stuff

• I like trail running! My partner and I recently did the Scilly60 ultra-marathon and have nearly finished running the Camino de Santiago** across the north of Spain.
• I used to dabble in drone videography until I crashed it into a university in Rwanda .
• I brew and ferment a lot of things.
• Whilst living in London, my friends and I have been trying to map all good pubs worth going to.
