I am a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at the School of Engineering, University of Edinburgh. I co-lead the Bayesian and Neural Systems research group.
My research interests include:
- simplifying machine learning
- AutoML, especially neural architecture search
- efficient network training
- low-resource deep learning
- engineering applications of machine learning
I have an MEng in Engineering Science and a DPhil (PhD), both from the University of Oxford. My DPhil was on "Visual recognition in Art using Machine Learning" with Andrew Zisserman in the VGG group. After my DPhil, I was a postdoc at the School of Informatics in Edinburgh with Amos Storkey.
I hold an EPSRC New Investigator Award. I am an investigator on the dAIEdge Horizon Network and a co-investigator on the EPSRC AI Hub for Causality in Healthcare AI. I am Programme Manager for Electronics and Electrical Engineering at Edinburgh and I have written a machine learning course.Team
