About me
I am a final year student at Lancaster University, UK, in the School of Computing and Communications. My undergraduate dissertation is on accelerating symbol-level GRAND, supervised by Ioannis Chatzigeorgiou. I also did a full exchange year at the Australian National University.
I am interested in high-performance computing (HPC) in general and, in particular, leveraging HPC in machine learning applications.
Outside of my academic pursuits, I enjoy reading and watching films. I am also actively involved in the community, having recently given talks at Yorkshire DevOps and BSides Leeds.
