I am a lecturer in hybrid AI at the University of Edinburgh and a visiting research fellow at the University of Cambridge. Prior to this, I was a research associate and a PhD student working with Prof. Larry Paulson at the University of Cambridge.

My research interest includes

  • neuro-symbolic reasoning,
  • AI for math,
  • machine learning for theorem proving,
  • and mechanised mathematics.

I am hoping to explore better neuro-symbolic frameworks for mathematical theorem proving.

Please feel free to reach out if you’re interested in collaborating or pursuing a PhD under my supervision.
