The terms carbon credits and carbon offsets are often used interchangeably, but are in fact two distinct concepts.

Using computational SSDs for vector databases This is an idea proposed in 2025 as a Cambridge Computer Science Part III or MPhil project, and is available for being worked on. It may be co-supervised with Sadiq Jaffer. Large pre-trained models can be used to embed media/documents into concise vector representations with the property that vectors that are "close" to each other are semantically related.
