I’m an undergraduate researcher building ML systems that are rigorous enough to trust and practical enough to ship: clear objectives, reproducible pipelines, and evaluation that matches real constraints (compute, latency, data quality, and downstream requirements). I work across generative modelling, computer vision, NLP, and measurement-heavy applied ML.
- Generative Systems & Control: Score-based diffusion (SDEs/ODEs), controllable generation (classifier-free/gradient guidance), inference-time latent optimisation, and flow matching.
- Edge Deployment & Efficiency: Post-training quantisation (PTQ/QAT), structured pruning, knowledge distillation, system-aware neural architecture search, and latency-constrained inference (TFLite/ONNX).
- ML Systems Engineering: Reproducible experimentation (tracking/versioning), CI/CD for stochastic pipelines, artefact lineage, and scalable data loading.
- Robustness & Reliability: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection, uncertainty quantification (conformal prediction), evaluation under deployment constraints, and failure-mode analysis.
- AI for Healthcare & Impact: Causal inference, fairness-constrained optimisation, interpretability in high-stakes decision making, and privacy-preserving data pipelines.
- Computer Vision: Representation learning (SSL), fine-grained visual recognition, and geometric deep learning.
- Natural Language Processing: Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (LoRA/adapters), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and processing noisy/low-resource text.
- Mathematical Structure: Optimisation landscapes in deep learning, stability analysis of generative flows, and generalisation bounds.
