What Are Machines Learning? - Research Report
I’m excited to share my final Laidlaw Research Report, exploring how machine learning can represent physical systems. I investigated whether neural networks learn meaningful physical relationships or simply memorise data, while developing my coding, machine learning and research skills.

Student, University Of Leeds
I am a first-year Electronic and Electrical Engineering student at the University of Leeds and a UKESF Semiconductor Talent Award holder. My research explores what machine learning models are actually learning when applied to physical systems, investigating whether they capture genuine physical principles or simply identify patterns in data. Through this project, I hope to develop my understanding of AI, strengthen my Python and analytical skills, and contribute to the responsible use of machine learning in scientific research.
