I'm a PhD student on the Cambridge-Tübingen Machine Learning PhD program, supervised by Prof Zoubin Ghahramani at the University of Cambridge and by Prof Bernhard Schölkopf at the Max-Planck-Institute in Tübingen. I have a broad interest in machine learning, having worked on kernel methods, discrete graphical models, differential privacy, program synthesis, and graph neural networks. Up to date publication information can be found on my personal website and Google scholar profile:
Before starting the PhD I obtained my Master of Mathematics and Computer Science degree from the University of Oxford, having worked with Prof Yee Whye Teh on new applications of the Mondrian process as my final thesis project. During the PhD I've spent one academic year at the Max-Planck-Institute in Tübingen, working with Ilya Tolstikhin and Prof Bernhard Schölkopf on developing a new framework for applying kernel methods in differential privacy.
