Biography

I am a PhD student under supervision of Professor Carola Schönlieb at the Cambridge Image Analysis Group within DAMTP. I am also a member of the Cantab Capital Institute for the Mathematics of Information and the Maths4DL programme. Previosuly, I was an ML Research Intern at Apple.

I am generally interested in applied mathematics, and previously had a chance to contribute to the fields of inverse problems, machine learning, optimisation, theoretical inflationary cosmology and others. So far in my PhD I have focused on the areas of geometric deep learning and physics informed machine learning. More generally I am interested in application of geometry and optimization based techniques to analyze and improve deep learning.

I am currently looking for summer students in the areas described above and if any of those topics sound interesting - reach out, I am always happy to chat!
