    Deep learning for image reconstruction in lithium-ion battery Bragg coherent diffractive imaging

    BSc Natural Sciences dissertation · UCL Department of Physics & Astronomy

    First-class (76%) literature review and computational study on the use of deep learning for image reconstruction in Bragg coherent diffractive imaging of lithium-ion battery cathodes. The dissertation surveys the limits of conventional iterative phase-retrieval algorithms (HIO, ER, RAAR) on noisy, low-photon-budget BCDI data, and reviews the emerging neural-network reconstruction work that bypasses iterative inversion altogether.

Bedrock

  1. Young Enterprise · Ratton School

    2014–15

    Year-long programme running a real student business end-to-end. First serious experience of operating outside a classroom; left with a habit of asking who the customer is before anything else.

  2. Sussex County representative · football, cricket, long-distance running

    Secondary school

    Sport has been the constant: discipline, training cycles, and a tolerance for being wrong in front of other people.

  3. Tutoring and mentoring · under-privileged backgrounds

    Multiple years

    Long-running volunteer work, primarily in maths and the sciences. Where my interest in education and social mobility grew up.
