After graduating from The University of Bristol with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics with Statistics, I had a strong interest in data science and felt a particular draw towards research. Following my successful admission to the COMPASS Centre for Doctoral Training, I chose to specialise in non-parametric statistics and reinforcement learning, developing novel algorithms which address real world decision making problems.
Alongside my research, I have been lucky enough to participate in several industry-partnered projects organised by the COMPASS management team. Such projects have provided me with valuable insights into data science practices within industry, while helping me to maintain a wide exposure to statistical disciplines outside of my specific research area.
