Architecting Minds for Global Leadership.
My role as a mentor goes beyond standard academic supervision; I see myself as a technical architect for future careers. I train my students in the deep rigours of mathematical modelling, scientific programming, and robust experimental design. Below is the full record — not a highlight reel — of everyone I've supervised as PhD students, Masters students, and KTP Associates: what they built, where it was published, and where they are now.
The reasoning behind how I supervise — why the question stays theirs, what “elevating an idea” to a top venue actually involves, and what this costs the supervisor — is set out in MyTh 004, “Independent, and Never Alone”.
Training in probabilistic modelling, data analysis at scale, and the bridge between theoretical equations and production-ready codebases.
Alumni now shape AI at Huawei Research, BT, Lloyds Bank, 3 UK, and as faculty in India and Portugal.

Band thickness is headcount. The point of a lab is not the papers it produces — it is the people who leave it.
Graduated PhD & Masters Students.
Every completed PhD and Masters supervision, in full — what they built, where it was published, and where they went next.
The Current PhD Cohort.
Eleven PhD researchers, mid-story — their most recent publications and recognitions to date.

Undergraduate Spotlight.
Elena Barry
A final-year undergraduate at the time, Elena co-authored "Emojional: Emoji Embeddings" (UKCI 2021) with Haider Raza and me — work that got picked up by BBC Radio 4, who contacted us to talk about the research. Proof that strong mentorship starts well before the PhD.
