Research Associate

I've recently completed my PhD at The University of Manchester, where I worked on force field design for molecular simulations. I was involved with the use of machine learning techniques as a means to impart conformational dependence to various atomic properties, as obtained through a Bader decomposition. I'm now working on porting Quantum Monte Carlo algorithms to reconfigurable hardware devices (FPGAs), as a part of the EXTRA initiative (https://www.extrahpc.eu/).

In my spare time, I'm a competitive ballroom and latin dancer, and enjoy reading about various esoteric topics in stochastic mathematics.
