Background
Associate Professor (Reader) in Statistical Machine Learning, Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London
Research focuses on principled, efficient methods for generative modelling and decision-making under uncertainty, grounded in probability, optimisation, and numerical analysis
Aims to make generative AI trustworthy, compute-efficient, and scientifically useful—models that reason with uncertainty, honour physics/engineering constraints, and perform well under realistic compute/data budgets
Current research themes: generative modelling (diffusion/flow-matching/energy-based models, lean LLMs), efficient inference & sampling, scientific automation, and decision-making under strict compute budgets
Applications in biochemical systems, chemical engineering, and monitoring/control of complex systems in defence, aerospace, supply chains, logistics, and energy
