Research
My PhD research is focused on using machine learning to support the management of blood inventory. I am particularly interested in using real-time data about the state of a hospital to improve institution-level forecasts and using reinforcement learning to recommend replenishment and allocation decisions.
I am supervised by Dr Kezhi (Ken) Li, Dr Wai Keong Wong, and Prof Martin Utley.
My work is generously supported by UKRI training grant EP/S021612/1 and the NIHR UCLH BRC.
Background
I completed a BA in Natural Sciences at Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge in 2010 and an MSc in Machine Learning at University College London in 2019.
Between those degrees, I qualified as a chartered accountant (ACA) and worked in external audit at Crowe and forensic accounting at Deloitte.
