I am currently a second year Computational Statistics and Machine Learning PhD student of STOR-i CDT at Lancaster University and am supported by ARC TIDE Hub in Australia. My supervisors are Henry Moss and David Leslie at Lancaster, as well as Lachlan Astfalck and Edward Cripps at UWA.
I am broadly interested in the decision aspect of Bayesian computational statistics and machine learning. In particular, my research focuses on developing sequential Bayesian designs – such as active learning and Bayesian optimization – for a wide range of application areas including probabilistic numerics and ocean engineering. I am also exploring what post-Bayesian ideas could offer for more robust, efficient decision-making.
Previously, I did BSc Mathematics and Statistical Science at UCL where I was mentored by Sam Livingstone and received a Royal Statistical Society Award.
