Hi :-) I did my PhD in the Artificial Intelligence group and passed the viva with no corrections on May 25th 2021! I was supervised by Prof Pietro Liò, a member of the Caraml network, a student at King's College and a recipient of the Wiseman Award for 2018-19. Please visit my website for details on my research experience, interests, publications, courses & projects I have supervised and other things I have done.
