About

I'm a PhD student in the Adaptive Dynamical Systems group supervised by Dr Eli Muller. My research focuses on understanding generalisation both in artificial systems and in brains, to be able to gain algorithmic insights into the human brain's ability for adaptive and flexible behaviour. I aim to develop brain-inspired learning models that use curriculum learning to enable generalisation across a diverse set of tasks. I have a background in Computer Science and Linguistics and previously studied at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
