Nathalie is a trainee patent attorney at Kilburn & Strode, where her practice focuses on AI and other emerging technology such as quantum computing. She prosecutes and drafts patent applications and advises clients on their freedom to operate. Nathalie graduated with a Bachelor in Chemistry from the University of Nottingham in 2018 where she particularly enjoyed quantum mechanics and particle simulation using computers. After graduating, she worked as a QA and then as a test engineer for a data company in London, where she implemented an automated testing framework. Prior to joining Kilburn & Strode Nathalie returned to academia to study Financial Computing at Queen Mary University, where she gained a Masters degree with Distinction. Nathalie read modules such as: Machine Learning, Trading and Risk System Development and Advanced Computing in Finance. Her Masters project concerned the Lorenz Lattice Gas Model which can be used to computationally model the behaviour of long chain polymers and finds applications in fields such a chemical engineering and in the understanding of proteins and DNA. With her cross-disciplinary background, Nathalie is ideally suited to advise clients on the intricacies of protecting inventions at the cutting edge of innovation combining computer science and life sciences and chemistry.
