Lead Research Scientist at the Dyson AI Lab,
where I am part of a team focused on data-driven machine learning.
With over seven years of experience in algorithm development,
data analysis, and machine learning across physics, medicine,
and robotics, I have a strong background in creating and evaluating
innovative ML solutions.
My skills in AI were further honed during a two-year secondment to
Imperial College,
where I collaborated closely with Andrew Davison and his team.
Recently, I initiated an AI Lab for Dyson,
focussing on pioneering machine learning technologies applied to robotics.
Some highlights from my publishable research are listed below.
Recently, my work has centered on the intersection of reinforcement learning,
imitation learning, and unsupervised representation learning.
