Dr Allen Hart

I completed my PhD at Bath University as part of the SAMBa CDT, including a masters degree in statistics and applied mathematics. My research area was a particular type of recurrent neural network called a Reservoir Computer. Alongside my research I collaborated with a COVID modelling group as part of the Rapid Assistance in Modelling the Pandemic (RAMP) team.

I have since worked as an intern at the tech start up PatchsHealth (previously Spectra) specialising in AI for healthcare applications, and as research fellow at the University of Exeter working on Project Bluebird. This is an ongoing collaboration between the University, the Alan Turing institute, and NATS to automate air traffic control. I have also spent time at the nuclear facility l'Institute Laue Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble studying the diffraction of neutrons through ice and graphite surfaces. In my current role at CAMACs I am working on Retrieval Augmented Generation for Large Language Models.

My research interests have included crystallography, topological data analysis, ergodic theory, differential topology, and reservoir computing.
