My role focuses on undergraduate teaching.
I do not currently supervise PhD students.
I do supervise 4th year projects and would be happy
to supervise MPhil projects for students admitted to
the MPhil in Machine Learning and Machine Intelligence.
I teach and supervise courses and labs in all 4 years of the Cambridge Engineering tripos. In my spare time, I play music and develop interactive tools to help illustrate topics I teach in Cambridge. I also have a collection of course notes and lecture slides that are available on this site.
