I'm a first-year PhD student working on an artist directed non-photorealistic rendering framework under the supervision of Dr. Rafael Kuffner dos Anjos and Dr. Markus Billeter. In 2024, I graduated from the University of Leeds with an integrated masters degree in computer science with high-perfomance graphics and games engineering. During which, I developed a passion for non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) and artist-directed systems that support and create further avenues for artistic expression. I'm passionate about all forms of art and supporting artists through their creative processes, where expressive rendering presents ways to accelerate and deepen existing animation workflows as well as explore new and interesting art styles which cannot be acheived otherwise. I'm currently fiddling with watercolour rendering approaches, temporal incoherence and anything else that catches my eye. If it looks cool, I'm into it.

In 2023 I spent 2 months during the summer as a research scholar at the University of California, Santa Cruz under Professor David Lee, I worked on AI and NLP solutions for categorising and summarising qualitative survey responses and spent a lot of time enjoying the californian sunshine. I have also worked as a teaching assistant in labs since early 2023, currently focused on undergraduate computer graphics. I enjoy teaching and helping students through their time at the university, largely by making computer science less intimidating and more fun. I also run labs for women and non-binary students, fostering a supportive network of students across all years at the university for which I have received two awards from the university.
