I am currently an EPSRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. I am also a visiting researcher at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit.
In general my research interests lie in the area of machine learning. More specifically, I am interested in Bayesian statistics, clustering, semi-supervised learning and kernel methods. I have also done research which applies machine learning techniques to problems in computational biology, computer security, and computer vision.
I am a researcher in the Text Mining, Search and Navigation group. I am also affiliated with the Machine Learning and Applied Statistics and the Natural Language Processing groups.
