My research interests are centred around random spatial networks, and how we can quanitfy their uncertainty (entropy), including networks in the high dimension limit, and the high node count limit. I am also interested in how we can apply knowledge of the entropy, for example using maximum entropy network formulations as null models.
Before my PhD, I studied Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Exeter. My Master's thesis on using machine learning to identify candidate globular clusters in the Andromeda galaxy was supervised by Dr Avon Huxor. My Bachelor's dissertation was supervised by Professor Massimo Stella, using multiplex lexical networks and machine learning to predict speech errors in patients with anomic aphasia.
