Ed is a DPhil student at Worcester College. Before Oxford, he obtained his MEng in Information and Computer Engineering from the University of Cambridge. His degree focused on deep learning and statistics with a view toward biomedical applications, including his Master’s project in computational neuroscience.

Ed then moved to industry, initially at a medtech scale-up in Cambridge, working in systems engineering and data science to create a breathalyzer for disease. More recently he has been working in the pharmaceutical industry, developing Generative AI and predictive modelling applications.

At Oxford, Ed has a wide range of research interests, including foundation models (language, multi-modal, biological), wearable technology, and healthcare in low-and-middle-income countries.

Outside of work, Ed is a lover of (almost) all sports, an amateur but keen chef, and a clumsy speaker of Spanish and French.
