Alexander is a Senior Research Software Engineer at the eScience Lab in the Department of Computer Science. His work centers on developing and researching data-driven and computational tools that enable more efficient and effective research practices. He is currently contributing to the HDR UK Federated Analytics project, which enables researchers to securely access and analyse distributed data whilst adhering to FAIR principles. 

He holds a PhD in Computer Science from The University of Manchester, where his research was in web accessibility. His work focused on optimising the evaluation process for accessibility auditors by leveraging machine learning techniques, such as clustering, to improve efficiency and consistency in identifying accessibility barriers. His research contributes to Human-Centered AI, particularly in the context of hybrid interaction and assistive technologies for visually impaired users.

In addition to his research, Alexander is the founder of Accessible Pixels, an accessible web design and development agency focused on creating inclusive digital experiences. 

Before his PhD, he achieved a First Class BSc (Hons) in Computer Science from the University of Nottingham. He was also an Associate Lecturer at the Open University.
