Biography

I am a PhD student in Robotics and Autonomous Systems at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and the Neural & Machine Learning Group. I am a member of the FARSCOPE Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) joint between the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England.

I graduated in 2019 with a MEng in Electronics and Computer Science from The University of Edinburgh.

My research lies at the intersections of deep reinforcement learning, robotics, and neuroscience. I am interested in exploiting neuroscientific ideas and the sim-to-real approaches to perform manipulation tasks by utilising simulation to speed up training time of the physical robot. On top of that, I am interested in exploring curiosity-driven learning to train robots through self-supervision.
