Research
I’m a PhD research student at the Institute for Imaging, Data and Communications at the University of Edinburgh, supervised by Prof Mike Davies.
I design deep learning algorithms for solving real-world inverse imaging problems where we rarely have ground truth, such as accelerating medical imaging or higher resolution Earth observation. These problems are super important but very challenging - how do we know what a black hole is supposed to look like before ever imaging one?
Get in touch if you are interested in computer vision, inverse problems, unsupervised deep learning, geometric deep learning, compressed sensing, medical imaging or Earth observation.

Activism
I’m an activist and campaigner for better access to nature and the outdoors for everyone. See below for previous writing and speaking.
I founded ESEA Outdoors UK, a grassroots community to advocate for better representation, diversity and inclusion in the outdoors.
I’m on the board of National Trails UK, a national charity championing and campaigning for National Trails across the UK.
To learn more about these topics, check out my list of Resources and Substack.
