I started my academic adventure with mathematical physics at the University of Edinburgh, eventually focusing on statistical physics and mathematical modelling of biological systems. Afterwards, I hit the snooze button on the alarm clock of life and did my DPhil in Systems Biology here in Oxford, in which I focused on applying machine learning to protein-ligand interactions. Now I'm a research software engineer in the Oxford Protein Informatics Group, where I focus on developing research projects into robust software that can be deployed to production both in our group and to the wider world through web applications and commercially-licenced software packages.

My own research interests lie in the realm of small molecule drug discovery, in particular predicting protein-ligand binding. In practice, most of my time is spent developing immunoinformatics tools and web applications in collaboration with the rest of the Oxford Protein Informatics Group.
