I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, part of the Centre for Computational Statistics and Machine Learning at the University College London. Previously, I was a Brunel Postdoctoral Fellow funded by the SuSTaIn initiative at the Statistics Group of the Department of Mathematics, University of Bristol. I completed my PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Centre for Communications Research, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Bristol in 2009. My PhD project was sponsored by Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. In 2006, I received a Dipl.Math.-Inf. degree in mathematics and theoretical computer science from University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
