I am a third-year PhD candidate at the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training Speech and Language Technologies @ the University of Sheffield, where I am supervised by Dr. Chenghua Lin and Dr. Carolina Scarton. My work is focused mainly on the summarisation of scientific or specialist text, with an emphasis on broadening access to technical content through the generation of readable, non-expert summaries.
