I am a Research Associate with Numerical Linear Algebra Group at the University of Manchester, working with Professor Nicholas J. Higham. In the 2019/20 academic year I was an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellow with the same group. I received a B.Sc. (Hons.) degree in Computer Science in 2016 and a PhD degree in Computer Science in 2020, both from the University of Manchester.
During my doctoral degree I was part of two neuromorphic computing projects called SpiNNaker and SpiNNaker 2, that aim to build efficient spiking neural network simulators. There I explored numerical aspects of SpiNNaker software and developed hardware accelerators for elementary functions in SpiNNaker 2.
My research interests include computer arithmetic and related topics. I occasionally contribute to the NLA group blog.
