I’m Alex, a DPhil (PhD) student in the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) at the University of Oxford, advised by Prof. Andrew Zisserman and Dr. Puneet Dokania, researching generative modelling for perception. Part of the AIMS CDT.
Before starting my DPhil, I graduated with a BSc in AI from The University of Manchester. I completed my dissertation supervised by Prof. Tim Cootes on counterfactual generation using diffusion inpainting models (see MObI and AnydoorMed).
I began my computer vision journey at 16 in a medical imaging startup, later rejoining as a research engineer. Afterwards, I joined Five AI as a year-long Research Engineer Intern on multimodal sensor fusion and synthetic data generation for autonomous driving; returning as a Research Scientist Intern on Vision Language Action models (VLAs).
