Biography
I am a Lecturer at the School of Computer Science. I obtained my Masters in Advanced Computer Science in 2017 and then my PhD in Computer Science in 2023 both here at St Andrews. My research interests lie in distributed systems as a whole, with a particular focus on serverless computing. Serverless is a maturing field of which there are several open and interesting research areas. I am also very interested in data driven research, analysing/gleaning insights from a number of fields using real-world public data.
Teaching
