Biography

I am an EPSRC-funded DPhil student on the Big Data Institute's Health Data Science CDT programme. Before I started my DPhil, I have obtained a MEng in Engineering Science from Oxford, St Hugh's College. For my master thesis, I worked with Oxford Martin School's AGENDA team and focused on developing a neural network for IED detection to aid the epilepsy diagnostic process in low- and middle-income countries.

Through internships in academia and industry, I have also gained experience in areas such as NLP, Computer Vision, and Software Engineering. After I completed my CDT training year, I have moved to the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and joined the Computational Health Informatics or χ lab, where I will be designing a risk prediction tool for cancer. My research interests lie broadly in applying deep learning methods in healthcare, specifically early diagnostics.

I am currently also Reuben's Graduate Common Room President, working with my amazing executive team and GCR Officers to build and grow our college community. When I am not working, you will probably find me doing fun things with my friends. I also like to spend my free time running, painting, or playing the flute!
