Summary
Steve is a Faraday PhD student in the Dyson School of Engineering, working on developing machine learning methods for material science applications. His research focuses on the use of generative adversarial nets to explore and optimise cathode microstructures. This project is supervised by Dr Samuel Cooper, and Co-supervised by Prof Aron Walsh.
Steve completed his undergraduate and Masters at Oxford in the department of Material Science. His masters project involved experimental investigation and chemo-mechanical modelling of fault growth in Ni-superalloys. Steve's interests include machine learning, software development and materials design. He recently organised ShenaniGANs @ Imperial College London, an online conference to bring together the GANs community at Imperial.
