Before joining COMPASS, I studied an MSci in Computer Science and Maths at the University of Exeter. I completed my third year dissertation looking at using a multiplex network framework to model word retrieval in people with anomic aphasia. We used simple AI techniques to demonstrate how multiplex network measures are predictive of the type of speech error that a person makes. The following year, I wrote my masters’ thesis on the use of machine learning to identify candidate globular clusters using imaging data from the Andromeda galaxy, which gave me valuable experience in data science.
Currently, I am working under the supervision of Professor Carl Dettmann on the entropy of soft random geometric graphs. We construct these graphs by distributing points randomly in space, and connecting them with probability determined by their pairwise distance.
