Machine Learning Researcher

I am a Machine Learning Researcher at Invenia Labs, where my role is to study the dynamics of electricity grids using Bayesian statistics.

My research interests include probabilistic modelling of spatiotemporal data, Gaussian processes, approximate inference and model-based reinforcement learning.

I hold an MSc in Computational Statistics and Machine Learning from the University College London, where my advisor was Professor John Shawe-Taylor.
