About Me

Problem with the picture

My research relies on methods from Information Theory, Discrete Geometry and Number Theory to build reliable and secure data transmission schemes.

I am currently leading a research knowledge partnership, jointly with London-based company Filament AI, InnovateUK and the University of Essex on applied machine learning. This partnership granted us the best knowledge transfer partnership associate award of the year.

Here is why I think research in mathematics should be funded.
