Research

Since October 2024 I have been a PhD student with Prof. Paul Goulart in the Oxford Control Group, developing and implementing first-order numerical methods for large-scale convex cone programs. Applications of interest include model predictive control, statistical learning, and portfolio optimisation, to name a few.

Background

In 2023 I graduated top of my BEng cohort in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Bristol.

I then earned, in 2024, a Distinction in the MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing at the Oxford Mathematical Institute, having written my thesis under the supervision of Prof. Coralia Cartis.
