Naser graduated from the University of Leeds with a BSc in Chemical Engineering in 2022 and an MSc in Advanced Chemical Engineering in 2023. Throughout his MSc project, he developed an Adaptive Latent Variable Bayesian Optimisation (ALaBO) algorithm and applied it to the autonomous optimisation of a Pd-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction under the supervision of Dr Adam Clayton. This work was published in Reaction Chemistry & Engineering (DOI: 10.1039/D3RE00476G).
