About Me

Welcome! I am a PhD researcher at Trintiy College Dublin. My research lies in the intersection of program verification, artificial intelligence, and theorem proving. I am particularly interested in the scaling and automation of program verification and theorem proving using AI -- my most recent work concerns the generation of loop invariants using a neurosymbolic approach. Prior to my current position, I received my BSc (Hons) in Theoretical Physics and Applied Mathematics. I also spent 5 years in industry as a software engineer.
