I'm an Associate Professor at Durham University, in the Network Engineering Science and Theory in Durham (NESTiD) group. Previously, I was a lecturer at the University of Surrey, in the Distributed and Networked Systems Group, and before that I did postdocs in Dan Alistarh's group at IST Austria, and with Artur Czumaj at the University of Warwick. My PhD thesis, completed in 2018, was on algorithms for radio networks.
