About

A self-motivated and diligent PhD student at the University of Warwick. My research involves using ML and AI to explore mosquito behaviour with the overall aim of identifying behaviours that can be exploited by disease intervention mechanisms and thus reduce the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.

Prior to this, I graduated with a First Class Honours in BEng Systems Engineering. During my degree, I gained a wide range of volunteering and work experience in a diverse set of organisations.

I thrive in environments where I can apply myself and, from my Engineering background, use analytical thinking and problem-solving skills to provide solutions. I am especially keen in opportunities where I can demonstrate and enhance my current skillset whilst developing new skills.

Personal Projects

Below are some interesting projects that I have worked on.

Title Description
Sneaker Monitors This project contains various scripts that monitor sneaker-related websites and sends a notification once a restock or release occurs.
power-of-10 A Python library that parses data from Power of 10, in a UK athletics website.
Recognising Hand Gestures A MATLAB app that identifies Diving Hand Gestures using a Convolutional Neural Network
Supreme Auto Filler (Chrome Extension) A Chrome Extension that autofills the checkout of the Supreme store.

Research

My current research focuses on machine learning. During my PhD, I specialised in utilising machine learning to analyse mosquito trajectories, so that we can extract behavioural information to assist with the ongoing research to improve disease transmission intervention mechanisms. In addition to this, I actively engage in other research endeavors spanning from the identification of biomarkers to forecasting epileptic seizures using wearables.
