About
Overview
PhD Student in the mathematical physics group of the mathematics department at City, University of London. Research work is with Prof Yang-Hui He into applications of machine-learning and data science techniques on problems arising in string and gauge theories. Primary interests within this are the relevant areas of algebraic geometry arising in string theory, particularly the Calabi-Yau landscape of manifolds.
