Welcome to my corner of the web!
I am a Principal Research Fellow in machine learning at University College London (Centre for Artificial Intelligence, Department of Computer Science) and a tenured research scientist at Inria (affiliated with the Modal research team from the Lille - Nord Europe research centre). I am also a Turing Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute.
I am a member of the ELLIS society (and more precisely of its UCL Unit) and a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society (member of the Computational Statistics and Machine Learning section). I am a fellow of ICA4 (Intercontinental Academia on Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence).
I serve as the scientific director of The Inria London Programme, a joint structure to foster scientific collaboration between Inria and University College London as part of a strategic France-UK partnership. Some more details in this press news.
