PhD student at the Robust Autonomy and Decisions group, part of the Insitute for Perception, Action and Behaviour at the University of Edinburgh. I am supervised by Dr. Subramanian Ramamoorthy and Prof. Alex Lascarides.

My research interests stem from the field of Human-Robot Interaction, and revolve around achieving semantic alignment between human experts and robotic agents. I work on methods for physical symbol grounding and neural semi-supervised representation learning, utilising task-informed inductive biases.
