General Profile:

Since leaving university, I have designed, developed, and communicated with users about software, most recently in Graphcore's Analysis Tools team. My work helped domain experts make decisions via web interfaces that integrate, analyse, and visualise complex data. Before that, I studied physics at Cambridge, where I particularly enjoyed field theories and relativity and analysed data from the ATLAS experiment.

As a researcher, I am primarily interested in language modelling and the insights that it can provide into linguistic and social phenomena. Language is fundamentally an interactive phenomenon, and the better we understand our interactions with language, the more able we are to build systems that learn, understand, and use language in ways we recognise.
