Michael U. Gutmann

I am a Senior Lecturer (Assoc Prof) in Machine Learning at the School of Informatics of the University of Edinburgh, affiliated with the Institute for Adaptive & Neural Computation.

My research is in machine learning for science, with a focus on developing methods for (Bayesian) inference and design.
