News & achievements
Awards, grants, talks and the occasional hackathon trophy: a running record of what I've been up to.
France Excellence Research Residency · Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Computational Systems unit, hosted by Dr Nicolas Servant · Paris · building the three-dimensional genome arm of BREST-MAP, harmonising three breast cancer Hi-C maps and correcting the copy-number bias that makes standard normalisation invert the signal at amplified loci
Kaggle · The Pokémon Company with HEROZ and Matsuo Institute · 559th of 6,807 teams from 14,081 entrants · a determinized-search agent under Gumbel sequential halving, and a campaign whose headline finding was that a stale override threshold had been throttling its own strongest component
Anthropic · live demo and open Q&A on accelerating scientific discovery, alongside Alexander Tarashansky, PhD, who leads engineering on Claude Science · I showed how the workbench actually sits in my day-to-day cancer epigenomics research, and talked through NCypher, the tool I built at their Life Sciences hackathon
Imperial College London Robotics Summer School, 20 to 24 July 2026 · Hamlyn Centre for Robotic Surgery · keeping a confocal endomicroscopy probe automatically in focus on living tissue, so a surgeon can read cells at a tumour margin in real time · my part was the interpretability, with HiResCAM
Researcher track winner · Anthropic × Cerebral Valley, with Gladstone Institutes · 1 of 299 projects · an honest MCP triage tool for non-coding cancer variants: a regulatory-activity score, the mechanism a variant breaks, and a confidence flag
Fivetran track winner · sponsored by Google (Devpost) · a five-agent system on Gemini 3.1 and the Agent Development Kit that recomputes a calibrated ACMG probability when a variant is reclassified, then drafts patient recontact, clinician in the loop, nothing auto-sends
The in-silico stratification workspace for rare-cancer drug development · drop in a target, it simulates the cohort, predicts the responder subgroup with confidence intervals, ranks resistance pathways and cites every claim · beachhead H3 K27M diffuse midline glioma · a Gemini XPRIZE 2026 entry · research use only
Using Neural Networks and Foundation Models to Understand Gene Regulation in the MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cell Line
Harvard University · 125 participants selected from 2,000+ applications
Google DeepMind Vibe Code with Gemini 3 Pro Hackathon
Hack-Nation 4th Edition · ElevenLabs Track
Nationally competitive award · 18% success rate
