From rigorous research to practical AI strategy.

About

Hi, I'm Leigh!

I'm the Founder of Nightingale Research, and Head of Research at Alpha Level. With a PhD in Statistics from Imperial College London, I specialise in turning cutting-edge AI research into real-world solutions, be it algorithms that cut cyber security false positives by up to 90%, to leading electricity price forecasts for energy trading.

I've designed and taught AI content to a range of professionals from apprentices to top executives at FTSE 100 companies, and I'm an elected committee member for the Royal Statistical Society Business and Industrial Section. Whether it's building models or demystifying AI for decision-makers, I love making the complex accessible and impactful.
