I did my PhD in Edinburgh with Prof. Chris Williams,
working on theoretical and practical aspects of
nonparametric Gaussian process models. I moved on
to the University of California at Berkeley for a
postdoc in the group of Prof. Michael Jordan. I
joined the Max Planck Institute for Biological
Cybernetics in Summer 2005.
My interests are in Gaussian process and other
nonparametric models, in variational inference for
graphical models, and in large scale problems.
I did some work in semi-supervised learning as well.
Recently, I got interested in models for neuronal
spike data, in gene regulatory network identification (systems biology), in natural image
modelling, and in other applications of sparse
Bayesian models. Very recently, I began working on
undersampled MRI reconstruction and design of
MRI sampling trajectories using Bayesian methods.
I am also the chief (and only)
developer of the LHOTSE toolbox for adaptive
statistical models, which you may find useful
in your next high-performance scientific C++
application.
