I am a PhD student with Mark Girolami at the Computational Statistics and Machine Learning Group, working on topics combining graph topology and network dynamics, stochastic modelling, and machine learning. I am interested in modelling dynamical systems using neural differential equations and understanding complex behaviour and self-organisation, while spanning a wide area of application, including the spread of contagious diseases, economic activity and optimal transport, power systems modelling, and social network dynamics. 

I am a maintainer at the Utopia project, a complex systems modelling framework. My machine learning codebase can be found on GitHub.
