I am Professor of Statistical Machine Learning, leader of the RainML Research Lab (rainml.uk), Tutorial Fellow at Jesus College, and Principal Investigator of the ERC Starting Grant Data-Driven Algorithms for Data Acquisition (Mar 2024–Feb 2029, funded by the UKRI Horizon Guarantee Scheme).   

I have been a member of the Department since 2017, first as a postdoc working with Yee Whye Teh (Sep 2017–Aug 2019), then as an associate member as part of a Junior Research Fellow in Computer Science at Christ Church College (Sep–Dec 2019), a Florence Nightingale Bicentennial Fellow and Tutor in Statistics and Probability (Jan 2020–Feb 2024), a Senior Research Fellow supported by my ERC grant (Mar 2024–Aug 2024), an Associate Professor (Sep 2024–Aug 2026), and finally (full) Professor of Statistical Machine Learning (Sep 2026– ).  

I originally studied Mechanical Engineering (MEng) at the University of Cambridge, while I did my DPhil in Oxford under the supervision of Frank Wood and Maike Osborne.

My research covers a wide range of topics in and around optimal experimental design and probabilistic machine learning, with areas of particular interest including: 

• Bayesian experimental design
• Active learning
• Probabilistic machine learning
• Uncertainty quantification
• Large language models
