Overview
Publications

I started my PhD in the Cambridge-Tübingen program in 2016 (prospective graduation in 2020), where I am co-supervised by Bernhard Schölkopf and Carl Rasmussen. My advisor is Adrian Weller.

I am a member of Pembroke College, funded by the Cambridge-Tübingen PhD fellowship with generous donations from Microsoft.

My background is in Physics and Mathematics. Currently my main research focus are socially beneficial, robust, and theoretically substantiated machine learning systems.
