Interests

My research interests lie in integrating Bayesian inference, machine learning and formal verification techniques to the construction and analysis of stochastic models within Synthetic Biology. Synthetic Biology is a highly multidisciplinary field that seeks to design and construct new synthetic biological parts and devices, therefore the accurate design and verification of those devices is of utmost importance. Specifically I am interested in likelihood-free inference, Bayesian model selection, probabilistic model checking, statistical model checking and integrating machine learning techniques into these formal verification methods.

Biography

I am pursuing a DPhil in Synthetic Biology within the Computer Science department at Wadham College, University of Oxford. Before joining the University of Oxford, I previously studied at the University of Manchester for an MSc in Applied Mathematics and I obtained my BSc in Mathematics at the University of Nottingham.
