About
I’ve been drawn to the interface between life sciences, engineering, and entrepreneurship since my undergraduate studies. I studied Material Science and Engineering, published 4 papers in tissue regeneration and briefly worked at a medical device company during my time as an undergraduate. My passion for life and physical sciences continued at the University of Cambridge, where I completed a PhD in Biology and Physics. It was during this time that my interest in entrepreneurship brought me to the EnterpriseTECH program and CJBS, serving as a platform to work with early-stage companies in the Cambridge and London start-up ecosystem. I built machine learning proof of concepts for 3 companies since 2019, one of which raised $1M. In 2021, I co-founded DeepMirror, where we are building the learning infrastructure to power discoveries in the Life Sciences industry. In the last 2 years, we raised pre-seed funding and won a prestigious Innovate UK smart grant among other
