I am currently a third 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, David Leslie, Lachlan Astfalck and Edward Cripps.
I am broadly interested in the Bayesian decision-making. In particular, my research focuses on developing sequential Bayesian designs – such as active learning and Bayesian optimization – for application areas including probabilistic numerics and ocean engineering.
I am also exploring what post-Bayesian ideas could offer for more robust and efficient decision-making, as well as what diffusion models could bring as more expressive and flexible priors.
Previously, I did BSc Mathematics and Statistical Science at UCL where I was mentored by Sam Livingstone and received a Royal Statistical Society Award.
