I am currently a visiting scholar at the University of Virginia where I collaborate with Tom Hartvigsen on advancing the efficiency, computational speed, and ecological footprint of Large Language Models (LLMs). In this capacity, I am also contributing to the development of cutting-edge model editing techniques.
At Evidation Health I developd machine learning methods to predict health outcomes based on high-frequency multi-modal data. I also
collaborated on research with academic institutions on differential privacy in machine learning.

During my PhD at Imperial College London, I developed a deep neural network model to
predict brain age difference
using over 20,000 MRI scans from UK Biobank. Through a phenome-wide association analysis, we identified significant
associations between this learnt biomarker and over 40 traits, including cognitive diseases and poorer cognitive function, highlighting
relationships and possible causation between brain and systemic health.
Central to my research was developing new machine learning models to analyse these complex health data.
I created
a method to learn features from 3D brain volumes
(open access version)
with a stochastic tensor regression layer to better
leverage the structural information in the images. Part of this work was done during my internship at Samsung AI, in
collaboration with Professor Anima Anandkumar’s group at Caltech.
