About me
I am a PhD researcher in Machine Learning at Imperial College London supervised by Mark van der Wilk. I am also a visiting student at the University of Oxford. Previously, I worked as a research scientist at Babylon Health. Interned at Amazon Research.
Research
I am interested in the question of how machine learning systems can learn useful inductive biases for predicting well under varying conditions, a useful property for scientific discovery. Causal models impose a structure that allows for predicting well under distribution shifts. Hence, learning these causal models from data is an important problem. I am excited by the Bayesian approach to this problem. With its inherent Occam’s razor principle it allows for using flexible models, as well as for principled reasoning under uncertainty - both attractive properties for data driven causal modelling. In parallel, I investigate how deep learning and scaling theory can amplify these ideas and make them work in complex, real-world settings.
A non-exhaustive list of topics I am interested in:
- Causality: causal discovery, effect estimation, causal representation learning
- Model selection: Bayesian model selection, MDL
- Bayesian methods: Bayesian deep learning, Gaussian processes, probabilistic models, inference methods
- Generative models: Neural processes, Diffusion, flow matching
- Deep learning: Local learning rules, generalisation, scaling theory, NTK, Tensor Programs
- Information theory: Kolmogorov complexity, information bottleneck
