Profile picture

Currently

  • I’m a PhD candidate at UCL, advised by Gabriel Brostow and Jack Parker-Holder, as part of the UCL PRISM Lab, and also as part of UCL DARK.
  • My research is at the intersection of computer vision, human computer interaction, and reinforcement learning. Lately, I’m trying to train models which generate novel environments.
  • I’m also interested in how we can learn abstractions which can improve reasoning. I previously co-authored some thoughts on that here, but am now particularly focused on visual representation learning for reasoning.

Previously

  • I co-founded OneContext , the RAG (retrieval augmented generation) pipeline company.
  • I hold an MA (Oxon.) from Balliol College, Oxford , where I was a Nind Scholar, and an MS from University College London , where I graduated Dean’s List (top 5% of faculty). At UCL, I was fortunate enough to be advised by Marc Deisenroth .
  • During my MSc, I was a researcher in The UCL Sustainability and Machine Learning Group and The Mercedes AMG F1 Team . My work for Mercedes is proprietary, but involved using Gaussian Processes to predict optimal times to release cars from pit-boxes during qualifying sessions.
  • I’ve spent some time developing and trading systematic strategies in variance swaps, volatility swaps, and VIX options, at Capula (a $27bn quant hedge fund), and at J.P. Morgan Chase.
  • I’ve been a non-executive director and AI advisor at a few interesting companies, across a range of industries including RevOps, Logistics, and PropTech. I mainly come in to help teams train and deploy AI models in safe and interpretable ways. Due to prior commitments, I am unlikely to take on any long-term (commercial) projects at the moment, but you can book time to chat with me here.
