Hi there, I am a PhD student and Minerva Scholar at the University of Glasgow.

 

Research interests

I mainly solve problems at the intersection of computing, mathematics, and economics. Most of my research is theoretical (e.g., proving theorems), but I am also excited about experimental research, applications, and tools (e.g., see matwa.optimalmatching.com). Currently, I focus on matching and allocation problems involving preferences or utilities, such as Stable Roommates, Stable Fixtures, Housing Markets, and Kidney Exchanges. I am lucky to be supervised by Professor David Manlove and Dr Sofiat Olaosebikan.

Teaching

I have a great passion for teaching and, as a Minerva Scholar, I get the chance to spend a significant portion of my time with teaching and CS-education related topics and initiatives. Some courses I have supported are listed below (ordered in reverse-chronological order).

I also had fun helping out at the Glasgow Science Festival 2024!

 

Academic roles

I have held a variety of academic positions, including my current role as Minerva Scholar (entry-level research and teaching position), and previous roles as an SSPS Project Lead (to improve a second-year undergraduate computing course) and general Teaching Assistant.

Currently, I am organising the weekly FATA Research Section seminars and am a member of the British Combinatorial Committee (BCC) and the School’s Learning & Teaching Committee.

On the editorial side, I have reviewed for the journals Discrete Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Economics and for the conferences Symposium on Discrete Algorithms 2025 and 45th Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science.

Recently, we organised the 29th Postgraduate Combinatorial Conference (PCC 2025) in Glasgow.

In the past, I have supported the University of Zurich’s Blockchain Center as a voluntary Research Engineer, represented my undergraduate cohort to the School of Computing Science and the School of Mathematics and Statistics as a Class Rep and acted as a Peer Assisted Learning Mentor for new undergraduate students.

 

Industry experience

Before joining academia full-time, I worked as a Software Dev Engineer at Amazon, Consultant for BearingPoint, and in IT Dev & Ops at the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation.

 

Other activities

I thought I would end up in the space industry and was very active in GU Orbit, a society for near-space and orbital projects. At the time, I also had the chance to join a European Space Agency project for rocket science.

These days, I am probably either repairing things at Repair Cafe Glasgow, working on a design or diy project, or exploring the Scottish highlands and islands.
