I am a founding Programme Director at ARIA and Honorary Associate Professor at UCL. I am an applied physicist by training, having spent 10 years developing photonic technologies to accelerate quantum and classical computing, initially at MIT and then at the Niels Bohr Institute. I then pivoted into systems neuroscience, where I developed optical technologies for high-speed, large-scale interrogation of neural circuits in vivo at UCL.

At ARIA I lead the Precision Neurotechnologies programme which is developing next-generation circuit-level tools to help understand and repair the human brain. I completed my PhD at the University of Bristol in 2015. ​I have been awarded a BBSRC Discovery Fellowship, a Marie-Skłodowska Curie Global Fellowship and attended the 66th Lindau Nobel Laureates Meeting.
