Research overview

I am broadly interested in computational statistics and machine learning methodologies, and their applications in scientific and engineering disciplines. In particular, I aim to develop methodologies with strong relevance to applications. 

Currently, I am investigating sequential Bayesian experiment designs (such as active learning and Bayesian optimization) and their application in oceanographic sensor deployment. I am also actively thinking about other tasks that could be improved using experiment design, or could be cast as a design problem.

Research Interests

  • Sequential Bayesian Experiment Design, Bayesian Optimization, Active Learning
  • Probabilistic Numerics
  • Gaussian Process Modelling
  • MCMC, SMC, Simulation-Based Inference
