  Doctor of Philosophy - PhD Physics
  PhD in High Energy Physics as part of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Data Intensive Science. The first year was a taught masters program with courses on data science, software engineering and particle physics. I then worked as a member of the ATLASexperiment at CERN. My thesis focussed on low-level b-tagging algorithms which involved extensivecoding in C++ and a python based RNN for topological vertex fitting.

The first year was a taught masters program with courses on data science, software engineering and particle physics. I then worked as a member of the ATLASexperiment at CERN. My thesis focussed on low-level b-tagging algorithms which involved extensivecoding in C++ and a python based RNN for topological vertex fitting. I also analysed the large ATLASrun2 dataset, searching for a generic heavy Higgs boson, making extensive use of physics analysissoftware. As a member of the CDT, I further completed a six month internship with our industry partner Faculty, an artificial intelligence company. Show less

  2013 - 2017
  Bachelor of Arts and Master of Science - BA/MSci Physics First
  Activities and Societies: Chair of the Robinson College Student Association, Robinson College Chapel Choir, Robinson College Boat Club Integrated Masters in Science and Bachelor of Arts. The first two years of the Natural Sciences course involved study of Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Material Science. In my third year I specialised in Physics. For my fourth year I wrote my masters thesis in theoretical condensed matter physics on the topic of quantum spin ice.
Experience
- EMPEREAL ENERGY AND SERVICES
  Jul 2015 - Aug 2015
  Summer Intern
  Emperal are a Dubai-based start-up in the green energy and services sector. During my internship there, I learned about the proposal process for large solar power and water desalination projects in India, and the wider economic considerations involved. I experienced first hand client meetings and plant inspections and worked on project proposals for small-scale solar power generators for local businesses in the U.A.E.

  Research And Development Intern
  Research project on differential privacy. I worked on using variational inferencetechniques to guarantee data privacy in large datasets. The research involved use of python packagesfor data science such as pytorch. The work led to an academic paper which I co-authored. I experiencedhow a data science consultancy firm operates and the work of a data scientist consultant.

  Dec 2021 - Feb 2022
  Research Fellow
  My work involves academic research in high energy physics with the ATLAS detector at CERN. In particular, we are carrying out an analysis of ATLAS data searching for generic heavy Higgs bosons. The work involves data analysis with ALTAS software and statistical frameworks such as HistFitter using C++, Python and ROOT. We are writing a paper for publication in an academic journal.
