Work

I'm a final year DPhil (PhD) student in the Computing Laboratory at the University of Oxford. My supervisor is Stephen Clark and I'm a member of the Computational Linguistics Group.

My research is in corpus-based Machine Translation. Specifically, I am looking at Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT), and how it can be used to improve a Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) system.

Personal

I am a member of Keble College. In the past couple of years I have been Captain of the Oxford University Men's Lacrosse team and President of the Keble College Ball. I also sporadically represent my college in rugby and rowing.

See my personal blog for a collection of stuff I find interesting.
