I am a PhD student in the Microelectronics Research Group in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bristol, under the supervision of Simon Hollis and David May.

Research interests

I am interested generally in computer architecture and my work investigates architectural models for highly parallel computation. I'm working on an experimental implementation of a language and XMOS XS1-based architecture.

As an undergraduate I completed a research project entitled Universal routing in processor networks, which investigated approaches to routing in irregular networks of processors. The source code and documentation for the network simulator developed for this project is available.
