Now

My main focus is research in the Signal Processing Group at the University of Liverpool, where I combine artificial intelligence, Bayesian inference, and high-performance computing to build fast, robust decision-making systems. The thread running through all of it is uncertainty: how to quantify it, communicate it honestly, and still act quickly.

In practice that means numerical Bayesian methods, sequential Monte Carlo, particle filters, and probabilistic models, engineered to run at speed on GPUs and distributed clusters.

Before

I read Business Economics and Financial Management at the University of Hull (2018), then took an MSc in Big Data and High-Performance Computing at Liverpool (2019). In 2025 I finished my PhD in Electrical Engineering and Electronics there, on numerical Bayesian inference techniques built to exploit high-performance and distributed computing.

Off the clock

I play the clarinet, saxophone, and guitar. A favourite is Si Tu Vois Ma Mère by Sidney Bechet. I love the emotive, almost voice-like quality of the clarinet, speaking without words. When I'm not playing I take photographs and write poetry (some of it lives on Instagram), and I'm an avid gamer, usually Vermintide or Counter-Strike.
