I'm currently a PhD candidate in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, where I am a member of the Machine Learning group. My supervisors are Prof. Chris Williams, Prof. Bob Fisher and Dr. Amos Storkey. During my PhD I have also worked with Dr. John Winn and Dr. Nicolas Heess at Microsoft Research in Cambridge.

Previously, I worked with Dr. Subramanian Ramamoorthy at the Institute for Perception, Action and Behaviour.

I was an intern at Microsoft Game Studios from July 07 to Feb 08, where I developed the HDR and bloom components for Viva Piñata 2. I am also founder of KeepMeOut, and since Oct 09 a postgraduate student representative at the university's student association.
