I am a Full Professor at the Department of Computer Science, the University of Warwick, and the Head of the AI/ML Systems (AMS) Division. I am a Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute for data science and AI.
Previously, I was a Senior Research Scientist at Samsung AI Research Centre until 2024, where I led research on Automated Machine Learning (Automated ML) for On-device Intelligence. I obtained my D.Phil. from University of Oxford in 2014.
We have multiple openings for PhD/internship positions. Scholarships available from various sources at Warwick. Please make contact for further information.
