Currently, a second-year PhD student supervised by John Whittaker and Sach Mukherjee. The focus of my PhD research is causal structure learning for single-cell genomics with a particular emphasis on the analysis of large-scale gene perturbation screens. More broadly, my research interests span causality, machine learning, Bayesian statistics and genetics.
Prior to starting my PhD, I worked on adaptive Phase I clinical trial design at the MRC BSU. I also worked on COVID-19 epidemiological forecasting at the S3RI in collaboration with PHE and Dstl. I previously obtained an MSc in Statistical Science from the University of Oxford and a BSc in Mathematics with Computer Science from the University of Southampton.
