I am a PhD researcher in Applied Mathematics at the University of Birmingham. My research focuses on temporal/time-series representation for foundation and world models, and on robust machine learning for non-stationary sequential data.
I study decomposition, retrieval, similarity, forecasting diagnostics, and symbolic structure as reusable representations for long-horizon temporal systems, including action histories, VLA trajectories, model rollouts, temporal memory, and variable-rich scientific or real-world time series.
- Temporal representation for foundation and world models: action histories, VLA trajectories, model rollouts, temporal memory, and long-horizon sequential behaviour.
- Time-series representation under non-stationarity: decomposition, stationarity-aware retrieval, forecasting diagnostics, classification, symbolic regression, and robust evaluation.
- Representation-driven research software: reusable decomposition and similarity tooling with inspectable temporal components, machine-readable outputs, and shareable reports.
- UKRI/AIRR compute resources (2026): two Gateway Project allocations on Isambard-AI: Time Series Language and Foundation Model and Language-Action Time-Series Tokenization for Efficient VLA Policies. Each project provides 10,000 GPUHR with nominal compute-resource value GBP 45,000; together they total 20,000 GPUHR with nominal compute-resource value GBP 90,000. Compute resources only, not direct cash funding.
- University of Birmingham College PhD Scholarship: full scholarship support for Applied Mathematics PhD study from Jan 2024 to Jul 2027, covering tuition fees and stipend/living costs.
