AI researcher and full-stack developer with a focus on quantum-classical hybrid systems, NLP, and production machine learning. Enrolled at the University of Birmingham aged 16 on an International Excellence Scholarship; graduated with a dissertation grade of 78% on quantum-inspired optimisation for NP-hard problems. Currently completing an MSc at Durham University with research extending that work into quantum network routing under physically-motivated noise models.
Quantum-Inspired Metaheuristics for Entanglement Distribution Optimisation in Terrestrial Quantum Networks
Comparative study of quantum-inspired heuristics for entanglement routing across three network topologies. Extends BSc quantum-classical hybrid work with rigorous statistical benchmarking and physically-motivated noise parameters (depolarising and amplitude damping). Benchmarked against classical baselines including Dijkstra-based shortest-path routing.
Meta-Hybrid Quantum-Classical Optimisation for the Travelling Salesman Problem
Designed eight novel hybrid solvers combining classical heuristics (Nearest Insertion, Christofides, Clarke-Wright, Random Insertion) with quantum-inspired techniques via IBM Qiskit. Developed QAOA-based partial tour generation, quantum local refinement stages, and bi-directional hybrid architectures. Tuned via COBYLA optimisation; surpassed classical-only baselines across multiple performance domains. Paper forthcoming.
Privacy Policy Classification System
Multi-label classification pipeline using TF-IDF + One-vs-Rest Linear SVM achieving Macro F1 ≈ 0.70. Extended with LLM-based classification via Mistral 7B, comparing zero-shot vs. few-shot prompting across five hyperparameter configurations. Identified key failure modes including over-prediction and category ambiguity.
