About

I finished my PhD in Machine Learning at the Cambridge University Engineering Department in 2013 focussing on Bayesian inference, nonparametric and kernel methods. I then worked in the London technology sector: in various tech startups and briefly in venture capital. I served as Principal Research Scientist at deep learning startup Magic Pony Technology, where we focussed on applying deep learning to the problem of lossy image and video compression. Following the acquisition of Magic Pony by Twitter in 2016, I served as Senior Machine Learning Researcher at Twitter where I worked on a range of ML-related projects including computer vision, recommender systems and helped set up Twitter's ML Ethics, Transparency and Accountability (META) team. I joined the Department of Computer Science and
