I completed my Ph.D. in the School of Mathematical Sciences at Queen Mary, University of London, supervised by Felix Fischer. I worked in Algorithmic Game Theory, Mechanism Design and Combinatorics. In particular I am interested in computational social choice theory and multiagent systems, I use tools from probablity and graph theory to look into questions on algorithmic fairness. I am always interested in areas to find new ideas and adapt old ones to new fields. I have since moved to a position at the Civil Service where I use these modelling techniques for questions in public policy.

My other interests include pondering on the ethics of technology and AI, more specifically the ethics of algorithmic decision making processes within government and tech companies, and advocacy for transparency and accountablity when using said algorithms.

I completed my MMath in Mathematics at University of Sheffield under the supervision of Neil Strickland.

Teaching

I have led seminars at QMUL for the following modules.

2020/2021 - Introduction to Algebra

2020/2021 - Discrete Mathematics

2022/2023 - Linear Programming and Games

2023/2024 - Linear Programming and Games

I have provided marking support for these courses as well as

2022/2023 - Random Processes

Outreach

I organised 2023 QMUL edition of Pint of Science where we invited speakers to give a talk on their research to members of the public. The talks were on the topic of climate change, legal issues within the workplace and finally the negative effects of capitalism upon the world and local communities.
