About
I am a Research Assistant at the Alan Turing Institute, working within the Warwick Machine Learning Group and supervised by Dr. Theo Damoulas. Previously, I was a Master’s student in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh where I was supervised by Dr. Víctor Elvira working on auxiliary particle filters. As undergrad, I studied Computer Science at the University of Warwick, where I did my BSc dissertation on reproducing AlphaZero supervised by Dr. Paolo Turrini. I am broadly interested in the intersection between Bayesian Inference & Machine Learning; particularly in scalable approximate inference for spatio-temporal models such as Gaussian processes and for modern “deep” probabilistic models, Sequential Monte Carlo, Bayesian optimization, causal inference and probabilistic graphical models .
