Open Positions
Thank you for showing interest in working with me! :) I am always open to having researchers, who are excited about deploying robots in real-world Chemistry laboratories, join my group as PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, visitors or summer interns.
PhD Openings
I have a fully funded PhD studentship with AIchemy, starting in October 2026. If you want to help us transform how robotic chemists are deployed in human-centric labs for long-term experiments, this position is for you! Please send an email with the subject [Prospective PhD AIchemy Student] if you would like further information. Official applications will only be processed if submitted through the University portal and I would encourage you to include a short CV, cover letter including your motivation for applying and your experience with robotics, machine learning, programming (C++, Python) and specifically why you are interested in working with me and my group and why you would like to carry out research on this topic.
Postdocs
I have 2 postdoc positions to start later this year, which will be advertised shortly. If you are interested in joining my lab through your own funding, I would be happy to support you in obtaining external funding through the following schemes: Marie Sklodowska Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships, Royal Academy of Engineering Fellowships e.g. RAEng IC Postdoctoral Fellowships, and other similar schemes here. Please include a CV and a research statement describing you previous work and future plans.
Undergraduate Students
I have several opportunities for undergraduate students to join my group:
- For UoL CS students, I supervise and offer projects in COMP390.
- For UK-based students, I offer summer internship projects through the Google Deepmind Research Ready Programme. Please contact me with the subject [Prospective UG Summer Internship], including a short CV, cover letter including your motivation for applying and your experience with robotics, machine learning, programming (C++, Python) and specifically why you are interested in working with me and my group.
Application Tips
- I highly value interpersonal skills in my students.
- I value intellectual curiosity and students who have an inquisitive nature.
- My research and group is highly interdisciplinary; hence, I value and will support students who have various backgrounds.
- I am particularly excited to work with students who are enthusiastic in deploying algorithms on real-world robots and who share the same passion for robotics as I do :)
