About

I’m currently completing my PhD at Oxford and am passionate about applying recent advances in machine learning to cold atom physics.

I divide my time between building an ultracold atom experiment and using deep learning to better understand the experimental data I collect in the lab.

In my spare time I enjoy running, swimming and playing tennis.
