I was Statutory Professor (Oxford speak for Chair) in Oxford Statistics Department and Senior Staff Research Scientist at DeepMind until 2024. I am now full-time at DeepMind and a visiting professor in the department of Statistics.

I was an Institute of Mathematical Statistics Medallion (IMS) Lecturer in 2016, was elected IMS Fellow in 2017 and awarded the Guy Silver Medal from the Royal Statistical Society in 2020. In 2024, I received the Akaike Memorial Award of the Japanese Statistical Society and was the Breiman Lecturer at NeurIPS.

Research interests

My research interests lie in the development and analysis of efficient computational methods for inference and learning, machine learning, signal processing and related areas. Recently, I got very interested in generative modeling (in particular denoising diffusion models) and computational optimal transport.
