Recent Talks and Conferences

Presented two workshop papers at ICML 2026 (a spotlight at the GenBio workshop and a paper at the AI for Science workshop) and, together with the other Encode Fellows, organised an AI for Science meet-up.

Organised and hosted a breakfast gathering at ICML 2026 with my fellow Encode AI for Science Fellows, bringing together founders, researchers and builders working at the intersection of AI and science to discuss early-stage startups, the transition from research to commercialisation, and the infrastructure the field still needs.

Panelist at Nucleate UK’s Building with ARIA summit at the British Library, where I discussed my work during the Encode AI for Science Fellowship. The summit was a technical deep-dive into the ARIA (Advanced Research + Invention Agency) ecosystem, its programmes and opportunities to participate.

Hosted ‘The AI Value Shift’ round table at Frontier Biotech Tables: From Signal to Drug, a facilitated discussion on where value shifts in drug development as AI makes therapeutic candidates faster and cheaper to generate, how AI may support clinical development, and what that means for business models built on defensibility.

Reached the final of the Berlin Bio × AI Hackathon and presented AGE-nt, an agentic system that retrieves, synthesises and reasons over complex scientific evidence on ageing interventions.

Chaired the ‘How I Built This: Drug Discovery’ panel at the Scientists to Builders summit at the Francis Crick Institute, with Tim Weaving (CEO, Q Matter) and Chris Thompson (CTO, Micrographia Bio). The summit brought together researchers and early-stage founders on translating AI-driven scientific discovery into real-world impact. Hosted by Conception X, Encode: AI for Science (Pillar VC) and Renaissance Philanthropy, supported by Ada Ventures and the Crick Science Entrepreneur Network, and powered by ARIA.

As part of the Imperial AI Policy Fellowship programme, I presented my work and took part in a panel on AI in healthcare before governmental policy and decision makers.

Invited to give a talk to an international audiance on my work on Steward.ai, as part of a delegation showcasing the potential of AI for healthcare.

Gave a talk at ESCMID 2025 a leading global conference on infectious diseases on developing and prospectively evaluating an AI clinical decision support system.

Pitched Steward.ai as an innovative AI-powered decision support solution to disrupt antimicrobial resistance and help clinicians achieve precision antibiotic therapy.

Invited to give a talk on my PhD journey and the pathway for translating AI and machine learning systems from research settings into clinical use.
