Biography
I am a Lecturer at the School of Computer Science. I obtained my Masters in Advanced Computer Science in 2017 and then my PhD in Computer Science (awarded 2023) here at St Andrews. My research interests lie in distributed systems as a whole, with a particular focus on edge/cloud computing. In this field, I am very interested in scheduling across edge/cloud computing, a current focus of research interest that poses a number of interesting problems. I am also very interested in data driven research, analysing/gleaning insights from a number of fields using real-world public data.
I am interested in collaborating with both public and private sector organisations particularly in the area of data driven research, to find practical solutions to present problems affecting these sectors.
