Summary
I am a Lecturer in Statistics in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London.
My research is in the field of statistical machine learning. I am particularly interested in sequential decision making problems, where the goal is to learn to make optimal decisions by sequentially interacting with an unknown environment. Some examples of problems I have worked on include variants of the multi-armed bandit, online learning, and reinforcement learning problems.
For further details of my research please see my personal website.
