• April 2019 - December 2020: Postdoctoral position within the group of Prof A. I. Lvovsky with a research agenda spans machine learning, experimental and theoretical quantum optics, and their intersection. This has lead.
• Conceived and implemented a state-of-the-art algorithm for applying reinforcement learning to NP-hard combinatorial optimisation problems. This work was performed in collaboration with researchers from Facebook AI.
• Developed a methodology to learn and disentangle the underlying structure of dynamical environments from sequences of images.
• Co-developed a theoretical proposal to implement the backpropagation algorithm for training neural networks in an all-optical setting.
• Leading research projects into the application of generative neural networks to quantum chemistry and complex non-linear differential equations.April 2018 - April 2019: Postdoctoral position within the Atom-Photon.
• Developed novel theoretical frameworks for birefringent cavity-QED, supported by numerical simulations and experimental data.
