I'm a Statistical Machine Learning researcher (of the ocean science variety) and I design talks & workshops for schools, institutions, and other organisations that are rigorous, ridiculous, and unforgettable.
I am a wearer of many hats, all of them maths-related.
I'm a PhD researcher in Statistical Machine Learning at Imperial College London and my research develops new methods for predicting ocean surface currents. I'm also a Guest Teacher in Mathematics at the LSE, where I teach MA103 (Introduction to Abstract Mathematics), and a Freelance Maths/Science Communicator.
I deliver talks and workshops and write about mathematics for audiences from Year 3 through Sixth Form as well as general audiences. As an active member of the recreational mathematics community, I also keep a notebook of mathematical ideas that I am investigating, and I share these (a)periodically.
I believe mathematics is the closest thing we have to magic, and my sessions and writing, which span ocean science, pure mathematics, statistics, and data, are designed to help others discover that for themselves!
What can 29,000 lost rubber ducks teach us about ocean currents? An introduction to fluid dynamics with no prior knowledge required.
One of mathematics’ most mind-bending ideas: there are multiple types of infinity, and they are not all the same size! From counting to Cantor, prepare to explore the utterly mind-bending.
A mystery-story workshop where students use probability to crack a whodunit, applying increasingly sophisticated tools as the plot unfolds.
Why does the International Date Line look like it was drawn by a toddler? The answer involves spherical coordinates and a healthy dose of geopolitical chaos.
Statistics are everywhere, but it is also incredibly easy to misuse them. We'll explore how to think critically about data, why our intuitions often mislead us, and how to spot nonsense when you see it.
An honest, personal talk about a non-linear path into research. Themes include experiences as a young carer and with chronic illness, navigating a lack of resources and being a minority in STEM.
