I completed my BASc in Maths and Computer Engineering at Queen’s University in Canada. While I was there, I worked part-time in a particle physics lab where we researched applications of Neural Networks for cleaning up noisy signals from particle detectors. During the pandemic, a group of us from this lab and surrounding labs began a project to simulate COVID-19 dynamics, and this side project resulted in a paper and a case study.
After my third year of my bachelor's, I interned for 16 months at GHGSat in Montreal, working on satellite software to measure methane emissions. I led an independent project that boosted retrieval accuracy and got to attend a rocket launch in California!
When I returned to complete the fourth year of my bachelor's, I managed the electrical and computer engineering team for my university’s Mars Rover design team, which placed first in Canada and seventh worldwide in the 2024 international competition in Utah. I started my DPhil the following Autumn.
Current Research
For my DPhil, I’m working with Nick Hawes and Helen Johnson on a project for piloting underwater gliders to track sea temperature anomalies in the North Sea. My project focuses on developing and implementing oceanography-informed decision-making so the gliders can respond in real-time and collect subsurface ocean data as temperature anomalies occurs. This could help understand the life cycle of these anomalies and their impact on ocean systems.
