Profile
I am currently a PhD student at the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Medical Diagnosis and Care. My research focuses on the simulation of virtual patients to support medical training. Before joining the CDT, I was part of the Data Science for Social Good fellowship at the University of Warwick, where I worked with Save The Children and UNICEF to map multidimensional child poverty across sub-Saharan Africa. My background is in Computing, and I’ve previously worked on research projects at the intersection of AI and healthcare.
