I currently hold the position of President for the 2023-2024 Toastmasters year.I am driven and committed to supporting others in their goals to build their public speaking skills, by fostering an environment of collaboration, open communication, mutual encouragement, inspiration, challenge, and growth.

The (MCR) William Petre Society is responsible for facilitating graduate student life at Exeter.

For my PhD research, I worked as part of a team of experimentalists and bioinformaticians of the Bristol Synthetic Biology Centre (BrisSynBio).I developed computational pipelines for simulation and data analysis of membrane proteins to predict how changes in composition relate to changes in structure/function, which could be tested experimentally by collaborators.At present, I am preparing two manuscripts for submission to scientific journals where I introduce my findings in detail as well as the designed methodology.Also, I delivered regular presentations summarising research progress to specialised and non-specialised audiences, including collaborators and supervisors. I also attended workshops and conferences to showcase my work.

Apart from my present PhD research, I held a position as lead Robotics Developer at GWS Media Ltd - an experienced company providing digital services in the South West of England for 18 years.I was in charge of the planning and software development for projects to enable Pepper the robot (Soft Bank Robotics) with skills to perform either as assistant within an office environment or as receptionist supporting customer service.I collaborated with graphic and web designers and marketers to deliver tailored applications with commercial value, exploiting both the technological capabilities of the robot and its customer appeal.
