About me
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’m developing unsupervised ML methodologies for solving inverse imaging problems. These problems appear in many critical imaging scenarios: accelerating medical imaging, higher resolution Earth observation, electron microscopy etc. We rarely have ground truth in the real world - how do we know what a black hole is supposed to look like before ever imaging a black hole - motivating the need for provable unsupervised techniques.
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.

- Generative adversarial networks for image reconstruction
- Image transformations for equivariant imaging
- Invertible image transformations
- Self-supervised algorithms including Artifact2Artifact and Phase2Phase

Activism
I’m an activist and advocate for better access to nature and the outdoors for everyone, and I’m interested in sociological and political aspects of nature and conservation.
I founded ESEA Outdoors UK (about), a grassroots community to advocate for better representation, diversity and inclusion in the outdoors.
I’m on the National Trails UK Board as a Trustee, where my interest is in enabling underrepresented and marginalised people to access nature. The UK is facing a triple nature, climate and social crisis and landscapes such as National Trails are crucial for fighting biodiversity loss, improving health and wellbeing and promoting sustainable tourism.
I’m also interested in UK land access rights.
