Research interests

I am fascinated by the integration of computational approaches within biological research. Of particular interest to me is the field of phenomics, whereby technologies such as machine vision and deep learning are being used to develop platforms that enable high throughput phenotyping. Using an embryo phenomics platform developed by Dr Oliver Tills and custom computer vision tools, my PhD aims to assess and predict embryonic responses to fluctuating thermal environments in the freshwater gastropod, Lymnaea stagnalis.
