I am the Chief  Scientific Officer at Leap Labs and also an affiliated lecturer in Computer Laboratory, where I was previously a senior research associate. My main research interest is ML interpretability/explainability for safety as well as knowledge discovery, what Leap Lab focuses on. Prior to Leap Labs, I was a senior ML scientist in Babylon Health, co-leading the personalisation AI research stream and a senior research associate in Computer Laboratory in Integrated Cancer Medicine Project.

And finally, prior to all of the above,  I was a junior research fellow (JRF) in Wolfson College. I worked with Professor Mateja Jamnik on  Accessible Reasoning with Diagrams project, where we designed, implemented and empirically evaluated an explainable reasoner for ontology reasoning, in collaboration with cognitive scientist in University of Brighton.

I did my PhD in Artificial Intelligence in Intelligent Systems Group of Department of Computer Science, University of Bath. My research during my PhD focused on explanatory decision-making in multi-agent systems using Argumentation Theory. 

Research. Research interests include Knowledge Discovery, Explainable AI, Generative Modelling and Automated Reasoning.
