About Me

I am a machine learning researcher on the quantitative team at BlueCrest Capital Management, where I lead the development of systematic trading strategies for high-frequency markets. My work employs probabilistic modelling to assess risk and generate alpha signals, and leverages policy optimisation to drive optimal execution.

My past projects at Microsoft Research (MSR) focused on developing multi-modal language models and representation learning to build large-scale health AI models, aimed at augmenting healthcare workflows and facilitating clinical discoveries for personalised medicine.

Prior to joining MSR, I served as a researcher and technical advisor at several organisations, including HeartFlow (CA, USA), Siemens Corporate Research (NJ, USA), ABB (CH), and ThinkSono (UK). I am an Honorary Research Fellow in the Computing Department at Imperial College London, where I completed my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Daniel Rueckert and Prof. Ben Glocker.
