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 Machine Learning.
My research is in machine learning for science, with a focus on developing methods for (Bayesian) inference and design.
A short biography is available here.
