I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Cooper Group at the Leverhulme Research Centre for Functional Materials Design, University of Liverpool. My research integrates discrete, computational and differential geometry domains to tackle challenges in materials science and statistical learning. Holding a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Liverpool, with a background in mathematical sciences, I focus on the development of geometric methodologies for Crystal Structure Prediction workflows. My research aims to uncover principles underlying molecular assembly processes and apply these insights to the targeted design of materials. By employing advanced computational techniques, I aim to bridge molecular mechanics and practical applications in material design through purely geometric modeling.
