I joined King's College London as a Research Associate. I am developing Advokit, an inclusive GenAI toolkit co-designed with people with aphasia, and open-sourcing my wider portfolio of accessible technologies.
I am a Research Associate at King's College London, working across human-computer interaction, accessibility and artificial intelligence. My research co-designs communication technologies with people with aphasia, from wearable AAC to inclusive generative-AI tools. Outside research, I enjoy golf, reading, film, travel and walking my family's three dogs. I remain a long-suffering Manchester United supporter.
I interned with the Ability Team at Microsoft Research, working with Dr Martez Mott and colleagues on remote meeting agents for chronically ill people.
My PhD in Computer Science in King's Human-Centred Computing Research Group explored wearable and discreet AAC with people with aphasia, supervised by Dr Timothy Neate and Dr Rita Borgo. See the research and publications.
I completed an MSc in Advanced Computing at King's, receiving the MSc Academic Prize. Projects included Argupedia, supervised by Dr Sanjay Modgil, and an interactive COVID-19 vaccination visualisation.
I graduated from the University of Bristol with an MSc in Computer Science with Merit. My dissertation, supervised by Dr Paul O'Dowd, produced the Turrellian LED Lamp.
I spent a year abroad at Sciences Po Grenoble, studying political science in French and learning to navigate a different academic and cultural system. Read the reflective essay and student guide.
I studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of Exeter, graduating with First-Class Honours. Supervised by Thomas Sisk, my undergraduate dissertation examined high-frequency trading, market efficiency and MiFID II.
