Overview
I am a first year PhD student in the Gravity Exploration Institute in the department of Physics and Astronomy. My work focuses on using machine learning techniques to enhance parameter estimation from gravitational wave data. I am currently funded by the STFC and UKRI as part of the CDT in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Advanced Computing.
