I am a researcher in machine learning and artificial intelligence, with current interests in causality, foundation models, and agents. I am a postdoc at University of Oxford in Torr Vision Group, working with Prof. Philip Torr. I am also a Junior Research Fellow (Non-stipendiary) in Computer Science at Christ Church. Previously, I was a postdoc at University College London with Prof. Ricardo Silva from 2023 to 2025. I received my PhD degree in Computer Science from Durham University in 2023, advised by Prof. Alexandra Cristea. I co-organized workshops on Scaling Up Intervention Models at ICML 2025 and Scaling Environments for Agents at NeurIPS 2025.

I am very open to research collaboration and happy to advise on external projects. Feel free to email me at {firstname}.{lastname}@eng.ox.ac.uk.
