In 2013, I completed a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours at Monash University, Australia. My thesis focused on how humans perceive non-linguistic sounds and how these perceptions relate to a sound's mathematical or statistical features. In 2014, I took a sea change from science to pursue my interest in philosophy and ethics, completing a Master of Bioethics. As part of this course, I produced a thesis which analysed the ethics of proposed euthanasia legislation in Australian jurisdictions.

I was awarded a World Health Organization Bioethics Fellowship in 2015, which led to me spending time at the World Health Organization headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. There I contributed towards bioethical analysis of the Ebola epidemic response in West Africa.

In late 2015, I began a Master of Philosophy by Research at Monash University, Australia. My thesis focused on electrophysiological signals from neocortex in response to stimuli and trauma, specifically in rat barrel cortex. During this time, I also served as president of the Students of Brain Research Network and co-founded the student body of the Australasian Neuroscience Society, serving as its inaugural chair.

In 2018, I became a PhD student at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) Graduate University, Japan. My current research involves building and evaluating simulated neural networks and artificial intelligence systems.
