I have a DPhil (PhD) in Optimisation from Department of Engineering Science , University of Oxford working with Paul Goulart and Mark Cannon in the Control Group . I am associated with Trinity College and was supported by the Clarendon Scholarship . I am currently the Head of Science at Qogita.

I am interested in model predictive control and optimization. My DPhil project investigated ADMM algorithms to solve convex conic programs. I especially focused on improving solver performance using chordal decomposition techniques and acceleration methods. I am also interested in applications of (convex) optimisation such as Portfolio Optimisation, Machine Learning, Optimal Control and Graph Theory.

Following the worldwide COVID-19 outbreak in the spring of 2020, I joined the OxVent team to work on the control and software for a new rapidly deployable low-cost ventilator for COVID-19 patients. Our work has been recognized with an E&T Innovation Award in the category Small Idea, Big Impact: Global Challenge .
