Research Team

I currently lead a fantastic team of 1 research staff and 11 PhD students. I have graduated 27 PhD students, and previously line-managed 27 research staff and 30 interns. The quality of my PhD students has been externally recognised, e.g. winning the University's 3 Minute Thesis competition in 2015, receiving Silver at SET for Britain 2015, receiving the Gold Medal at Malaysia's Innovation Technology Expo 2016-17, and winning the Best of Faculty award at the University's Festival of Doctoral Research 2019. They have also made non-technical contributions, for example blogging about joint industry-academia PhDs (Arm) and coping with publication pressures (Nature), or engaging with the next generation of engineers and scientists. During their studies, many were able to gain a broader appreciation of their field by securing internships, for example at Arm Research, MIT (USA), Microsoft Research, Huawei, Tenstorrent, Intel (USA), Samsung, Broadcom etc.

Research Team Socials

I'm a firm believer that a well-functioning, successful and dependable team should come together socially as well as professionally. Below are a selection of photos from some of the various research team socials that we have organised.
