Biography
I am a first year DPhil student supervised by Prof. Kasper Rasmussen. Before starting my DPhil, I was a researcher at the Alan Turing Institute working on trustworthy digital infrastructure and a cryptographer at Crossbar, a California-based digital wallet start-up. I am generously funded by the EPSRC and Department of Computing Doctoral Training Scholarship.
I completed my MSc in Emerging Digital Technologies from University College London (UCL) supervised by Prof. Philipp Jovanovic and BSc in Philosophy, Logic, and Scientific Method from the London School of Economics (LSE) supervised by Prof. Laurenz Hudetz. During the summer of 2019, I was an undergraduate summer researcher at Imperial College London (ICL) under the supervision of Prof. Francesco Belardinelli working on model checking probabilistic multi-agent systems which sparked my interest in pursuing research.
More details are available on my Personal Website and Google Scholar.
