Education
October 2015 – present – PhD in Maths, University of Warwick
Supervised by Professor Matthew Turner and Professor George Rowlands.
 We are looking at possible ways to model simple “intelligent” decision
making processes within active matter systems.
 Currently using methods inspired by the “causal entropic forces”
framework, whereby systems move so as to maximize the control they
have over their environment in the future.
2014 – 2015 – MSc in Mathematics of Systems, University of Warwick
 Passed with a distinction. Modules included Networks and Random
Processes, Data Analysis, Dynamical Systems, Statistical Mechanics,
Numerical Methods and Interacting Particle Systems.
 Carried out two mini-projects on “Modelling the Spread of Foot and
Mouth Disease” and “Molecular Modelling of Polymer-Graphene
Nanocomposites”.
2009 – 2014 – MSci in Physics, University College London
 Received a first and included on the Dean’s List for Academic Excellence.
 Fourth year module options were Advanced Quantum Theory,
Electromagnetic Theory, Order and Excitation in Condensed Matter,
Quantum Computation and Communication and Statistical Mechanics.
 Final year research project was on “Entropy Production in Small
Systems” and supervised by Professor Ian Ford.
2001 – 2009 – Seaford Head Community College, East Sussex
 A Levels: Mathematics (A), Physics (A), History (A)
 GCSEs: 5 A*s, 6 As

transport”, Phys. Rev. E 92, 042108 (2015)
Additional Research Experience
June – August 2012 – Summer Projects at the Research Complex at Harwell
 Conducted a 10-week research project on applying “Optical
Ptychography”, a coherent diffraction imaging technique, to studying the
growth of birefringent calcite films.
 Supervised by Professor Ian Robinson (UCL).
