About
I am a Group Leader for Biomedical Machine Learning at the MRC Biostatistics Unit, University of Cambridge, where I am establishing a research programme at the interface of statistics and machine learning. My current work focuses on biomedical applications, with particular interest in generative models for time-dependent data, latent dynamics through manifold learning, and the development of robust AI systems grounded in scientific, geometric, and mathematical principles.
Prior to joining the BSU, I was a Senior Research Scientist in the Biomedical Image Computing Group at ETH Zürich, leading projects on generative modelling, CT radiomics, and MRI super-resolution. I have also held research positions at the Institute of Astrophysics, ETH Zürich, and obtained a doctorate in Computational and Theoretical Physics from ETH Zürich. My undergraduate and master's degrees in Physics are from the University of Cambridge.
An up-to-date list of my publications is available on my Google Scholar profile.
