Experience

  • UCL Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering (1 yr 3 mos)
    • Student Ambassador (Physics and Medical Physics)
      May 2025 - Present · 1 yr 3 mos

      Represent UCL as an ambassador for Physics and Medical Physics which involves assisting at departmental events as well as encouraging and helping support the Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering programmes.

    • Student Researcher (bNIRS and DCS Imaging)
      Jan 2026 - Apr 2026 · 4 mos

      Selected as a student researcher with a project on combined bNIRS and DCS imaging for HIE in neonatal brains

    • Teaching Assistant (Electronics Engineering)
      Jan 2026 - Apr 2026 · 4 mos

      Selected as teaching assistant, typically reserved for postgraduates, for a 1st year Biomedical Engineering module teaching electronics engineering. Co-authored a paper on Practical Engineering Education, published at the SEFI 2026 International Conference

  • UCL Department of Physics and Astronomy (3 mos)
    • Student Researcher (ML in High-Energy Physics)
      Jan 2026 - Mar 2026 · 3 mos

      Completed a research project in high-energy physics classifying supernova neutrinos from electronic and radioactive noise effects in an LArTPC. I modelled a CNN and U-Net autoencoder, achieving 100% classification accuracy at realistic noise levels and a high matthews correlation coefficient, indicating a confident model

    • Group Research Project Co-Lead (MRI Respiratory Waveform Extraction)
      Jan 2026 - Mar 2026 · 3 mos

      Co-led a multidisciplinary research group, comparing methods for respiratory waveform extraction of Lung MRI. As part of this, I developed a Jacobian determinant based deformation pipeline, which was novel to MRI.

  • Summer Internship at UCL
    Jun 2025 - Aug 2025 · 3 mos

  • Deep Learning & AI - Mentorship Programme at MedTech UCL
    Nov 2024 - Dec 2024 · 2 mos

    Selected for the UCL MedTech Mentorship programme, specifically for AI and Deep Learning in Medical Imaging and Diagnosis
