I'm a researcher and developer with an interest in applying machine learning methods to both real-world and scientific problems.
I'm interested in intelligence, software, machine learning, brains, optimization problems, computational chemistry, stories, social and postmodern issues.
You can find my structured writing here. I also maintain a digital garden for musings and curations.

Ph.D. Candidate | My research involves the development and deployment of machine learning methods for autonomous and closed-loop experimentation. I use methods like Bayesian optimisation, reinforcement learning and LLMs to guide and optimise chemical and biological processes. More broadly, I am interested in how these methods will interface with new and existing experimental setups to create self-driving laboratories.
