Welcome.
I am Professor of Machine Learning in the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at University College London. I work on machine learning, statistics, symmetry, and dynamics.
I was a PhD student at ETH Zurich, a postdoc at the University of Cambridge, and Assistant and Associate Professor at Columbia University. I have spent sabbaticals at the Isaac Newton Institute, at Microsoft Research New England, and at UC Berkeley.
I am associate editor of the Annals of Statistics, a member of the JRSS B discussion paper committee (the Research Section), and have served on NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR program committees for ten or so years.
Research interests
Some of my favorites: Exchangeability and distributional symmetries, the mathematical statistics of learning, machine learning in physics and engineering, Bayesian inference, and random graphs.
