General Profile:

I have an engineering background and have worked in industry for 9 years before starting this PhD. I worked at Rolls-Royce for a short time but have mainly been at a company called Open Bionics which makes robotic prosthetic hands for upper-limb amputees. I've had a small amount of contact with AI through the lens of robotics. I'm interested in how it can be used in Engineering by speeding up simulations, generating designs, or parsing complex regulations and standards. Additionally, as my background is in the medical device industry where risk management is at the heart of development, I'd like to explore applying those principles to AI safety.
