About

Personal

As a graduate student, most of my time goes into research (being a computational biologist, this bifurcates into abstract geeky things and tangible somewhat-less-geeky things). Much of the remainder is split between enjoying Oxford's eccentric social scene and exploring the British Isles, largely on foot.

Despite my fascination with conjecture and predilection for theoretical pursuits, I think our complex world could do with less certainty and more laughter.
